The shocking case of Lily Phillips

There's a rather interesting thing that's gone viral recently.

A prominent "star" on a certain website that's "just for fans" did something shocking.

It's fresh in my mind because I just got done recording an episode on a podcast named "None Of Your Business" with entrepreneur Karla Singson, and she brought it to my attention. And frankly, I find myself more than a little disappointed by the direction some parts of our society are moving in. It's getting crazier and crazier...

Anyways, this woman gathered 100 of her followers together for a social experiment that has rattled the internet.

Her goal:

To sleep with a100 guys in 24 hours.

She even hired a professional YouTuber to document the journey and create a mini-documentary on it, which when I skimmed through it, had around 7m views already.

... and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how that went.

Firstly, she did indeed find 100 guys for the job - and many of them clearly had mixed feelings about it.

But secondly... well, she followed through on her goal.

And you could see the toll it took on her during the closing interview.

Eyes sunken in, bags underneath, crying...

Her body probably trying to protect her from trauma.

It felt like I was watching a documentary about self-harm.

It's hard to imagine that no one who cares about her told her, or managed to convince her, like...

"Hey, maybe you shouldn't do this..."

It really wasn't cool.

And it's yet another aspect of the strange culture we find ourselves in. One where 80,000,000+ men in the United States alone are subscribed to girls on that site, a supermajority of them being married. One where the sanctity of intimacy has been tainted. Where porn and hookup culture have been normalized, where the pendulum has swung too far from liberation to straight up sexual degeneracy.

I'm not saying we need to be monks.

But, come on.

Bring back good values.

Make intimacy sacred and special again.

Bring back the respect that it deserves.

Unhook from the screen and parasocial relationships.

Reserve yourself for real connection with real people.

It'll be one of the smartest things you ever do for yourself and the connection you share with the people who matter most, because when you unplug from that matrix, what's left is something infinitely more fulfilling.

But how?

Well, there's something you've gotta understand:

Porn is a massive barrier that gets in the way of your relationship goals, and perhaps other goals too. But it is not the full issue in and of itself. In reality, it's a symptom of deeper problems in your lifestyle and internal world. And this is where most guys go completely wrong because they focus solely on trying to slow or stop their porn use... but not the other parts of the equation that are far more important.

There's a feedback loop between your masculine energy and this particular vice.

And no doubt, porn drains that energy unlike anything else.

And yes, stopping the relapses is part of the equation.

But it's a relatively small one.

When you just focus on stopping the relapses without addressing these other 2 much bigger, much more important parts of the equation... the relapses will always come back eventually. And when they do, they'll weaken you further, which makes even more relapses even more likely. To break that cycle means developing a certain strength that is lacking currently. So let's pull back the veil...

You need these other two parts to put an end to the relapse cycle for good.

There are 2 halves to the Masculine Core Equation:

1. Working on the external circumstances of your lifestyle, habits, hobbies, and other things that will help you feel genuinely much more fulfilled so you don't want to escape anymore. Because unmet needs and dissatisfaction push us into escapism, and escapism is what this vice provides more than anything.

2. Working on the internal wounds and faulty mental programming. Reshaping your beliefs so you don't view it as "normal" anymore, so you don't want it anymore, so you can happily leave it behind. Working through the Rationalizations you've been using to justify returning over and over. Learning how to have better internal self control, controlling your thoughts and urges on autopilot, and learning how to process your internal world in healthier ways instead of through escapism. And, of course, finding a sense of purpose and meaning that lights you up from within.

When you do the internal and the external work right...

You massively strengthen your Masculine Core, and therefore your ability to stay clean. Stopping those relapses for good is simply the natural result of my process.

So yes, you'll need to stop relapsing, of course.

But to put those to an end for good, this deeper work is completely essential.

And while I'm happy to keep discussing more of it with you over time, if you want to take a shortcut, that's what I'm here for. I've developed an airtight process that began with my own journey to quit porn that started 7 years ago... and was extremely challenging, more than I ever could have predicted... and has since been refined constantly over the past 4 years where I've worked with over 130 guys, and I can help you do what they've done too.

That is, quit porn for good the right way in the next 60 days, so you never look back and can finally close that chapter for good.
