Two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom, 39, said he’s given up porn as part of building a healthier lifestyle for himself and his future basketball ambitions.
Shortly after his viral interview with TMZ Sports where he made this announcement alongside his girlfriend, we were able to catch up with him near his hometown of Queens, New York.
In his own words, this exclusive video interview captures his thoughts on how porn twisted his perception of love, intimacy, and sex—and how he is embracing newfound honesty and transparency in his life since quitting his porn habit.
We applaud Lamar’s vulnerability in sharing his story with us. Listen to our exclusive Consider Before Consuming FTND podcast interviewwith him that you can find anywhere you listen to podcasts.
Any time a celebrity speaks up about porn’s harmful effects, countless more people have the opportunity to see what the research is saying.
