Allie Beth Stuckey Is Right About Men and Porn
Brandon Morse | 12:00 PM on October 31, 2025Last night, I got alerted to the news that Allie Beth Stuckey, a former colleague of mine, was being attacked by a great many people for something she had said about men.
I saw the responses before I even saw the clip. So many people jumping on what she said as being "feminist" and attacking men, holding them to standards, while women like her refuse to hold other women accountable and set standards for them in the same way.
Then I watched the bit Allie was being attacked for, and I got angry.... but not at Allie. In fact, I was angry at conservatism.
Allie wasn't saying anything that demeaned men; she was attacking pornography and the effects it has on men. She noted that there are women who suffer from the grip of pornography as well, but that it predominantly hooks men, and porn makes men weak.
Allie is 100 percent right. Porn is a weakening force in the lives of men. I've spent a great deal of time on this very website talking about it. In fact, I talked about it on Wednesday when addressing the idea that "sex work is real work" and how destructive it is on both the worker and the consumer.
You don't have to take my word for it either. One of the most revealing insider looks into the destructiveness of the porn industry comes from a former porn star turned pastor, Joshua Broome. During an interview with Michael Knowles, Broome discussed just how mentally damaging the porn industry is, noting that more than a few colleagues he'd known committed suicide at some point. Depression and isolation are features of the industry, not a bug.

Porn actually reduces gray matter in those who consume it, making reward and motivation less active, and leading to less self-control, much like an addict. Things that should excite people become less so due to desensitization, but urges become harder to resist. This can lead to feeling ambivalent about real-life sex, putting a hurdle between you and a substantial relationship. This, in itself, creates emotional isolation that can lead to anxiety and depression, as well as difficulty becoming aroused in real life with a partner.
So Allie is actually correct. Porn does make you weaker. It makes men weaker. . . .
