Young Adult Relationships: Dating & Marriage in the Porn Era

Sean Musil and Panel

The impact of pornography on relationships is one of young adult’s greatest concerns regarding this issue. This panel will share ideas for getting it out in the open with compassion and honesty.

Panel members:


Sean Musil, CEO and Founder of The Freedom Journey, a nonprofit aiming to help those impacted by pornography addiction move to greater levels of freedom. Sean also currently serves on the UCAP Advisory Council.

 

 

Alex Musil is a young woman who cares about people. She married Sean in 2014. She hasn’t been directly impacted by pornography, however, since Sean has a past with pornography (which was all before they started dating) the two of them have many safe guards put in place to ensure continued trust and openness. They both live in Davis County, and have a 2-year-old Shiba Inu dog, named Bear.
