Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of . Episode 225 is out now. Rewiring Connection: P**n, Pain, Purpose, and Recovery with Chandler Rogers. https://buff.ly/cVGkgeR

When does curiosity become captivity? In this deeply honest conversation, Boysen Hodgson sits down with Chandler Rogers, founder of the Relay app, to unpack the complicated, often hidden world of po*******hy addiction. Chandler shares his personal story—from early exposure to p**n, to the shame and isolation it bred, and finally to the creation of a digital platform that offers men daily, group-based support to reclaim their integrity and connection.

Together, they explore the emotional roots of compulsive sexual behavior, challenge the binary label of “addiction,” and open up a broader conversation about trust, secrecy, faith, and healing.

“Grandma, how do you cope with pain?”

“With your hands, honey. If you do it with your mind instead of relieving the pain, it toughens even harder.”

“With your hands grandma?”

“Yes, our hands are the antennae of our soul. If you move them; knitting, cooking, painting, playing or sinking them into the ground, you send care signs to the deepest part of you and your soul lights up because you’re paying attention to it. Then signs of pain will no longer be necessary.”

“Hands are really that important?”

“Yes my daughter. Think of babies: they start to know the world through the touch of their hands. If you look at the hands of old people, they tell you more about their life then any body part. Everything that is done by hand is said to be done with the heart. Because it’s really like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection. It is precisely from this connection that healing comes. Think of lovers: when they touch their hands, they make love in a more sublime way.”

“My hands grandma.... how long I haven’t used them like this!”

“Move them, my love. Begin to create with them and everything within you will begin to move. The pain will not pass away. And instead what you do with them will become the most beautiful masterpiece and it won’t hurt anymore. Because you have been able to transform its essence.”
