(music) - [Lamar Odom] You know, in the NBA, if your late, they just fine you. I think about all the times that I was in my hotel room. Game day. And I had to get one more last scene in. So I chose to be late for the bus, I don't know, just to watch a porno scene? It's kinda crazy. In my case, I don't know how all these women that I was dealing with, I just never brought it up to me, it's sad to say. I could be in bed with a woman, and watching porn. But me, if I'm in bed with a beautiful woman, and I'm watching porn, while I'm in bed with her, that goes to show that there's a problem. - He was reaching for his phone, more than reaching for me. And I had a problem with that. Because I'm like, I wanna be 100% desired, especially if I'm laying right next to you. - I think men don't really understand how it affects your intimacy. Especially with the person that you're next to. The person that you so-called love. - [Sabrina] Is something wrong with me? Is something wrong with the way I look? You know, so I immediately thought, okay, I know I look good. (laughing) - I know I'm attractive. I know I'm to be desired. So somethings wrong with you, Lamar. And if you don't fix it, I'm not gonna be here because that's turning me off. - It's just like if your an addict to drugs, you know that first time, can lead to an addiction. And I was definitely addicted to porn and drugs. I think it was a little easier to give up drugs, because I don't think you can die from watching porn. Even though you kill relationships with people that you really love. It's kind of sad because, you know, society's not always right. And I never thought about porn related to human sex trafficking. And uh, the two go hand-in-hand. So once I heard that, it kind of was easy for me to stray away from it. When you put God first in your life, I'm a testimony to that, you can do anything. God brought me back. Hopefully for me to tell my testimony and help as many people any way that I can.
