What really helped me lose the desire to consume pornography is simply the thought, that’s not who I want to become.
Marissah Hannig
Sexuality is talked about too much without the respect it deserves and not enough with the respect it deserves.
When Marissah Hannig learned for herself what this meant, her desire to consume pornography began to disperse. She decided that she didn’t want to be someone who consumed pornography. Even when she felt that pull to view it, she would I think to herself “That is not who I want to be.” That same thought has helped her make other hard decisions.
Listen in as Creed and Crishelle talk about what respect means to her.
