Young Adult Relationships – Dating and Marriage in the Porn Era
Panel
Pornography has made relationships even more challenging. How do you know if you should tell someone that you have a history of using pornography? When is it ok to ask someone if they are involved? What do you need to know about recognizing recovery? Talking about these issues is important for building great relationships today. Come and ask our panel your most important questions.
Alex Musil is a young woman who cares about people. She married Sean Musil 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.
Sean Musil is 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.
