Think about all of the things you consider every day to help keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community happy, healthy, and hopeful.
Now consider this: There is an ever-growing body of research demonstrating significant negative impacts, for yourself and the ones you love, in the consumption of pornography. It can change the way you think, harm your ability to connect with other people, and can contribute to changing the world in negative ways.
Join us every other week as we consider the harmful effects of pornography using science, facts, and personal accounts.

Inspiring!
This podcast is so real & positive. The women are so brave that have gone though these hard times & while I listen to their stories, I'm in awe of them. And after everything they have been through choosing to turn their trauma into helping others is incredible. The episode with Alia hit my heart hard because she has this amazing grace about her after everything she has been through. The host is so kind and calming and really respects his guests in every way while he interviews them. This is a must listen! Love it!
Good overall, but takes a “blame men first” (feminist) spin
Things I like about the show: -victim statements and stories -data and anecdotes from professionals about the sex trade (eg from law enforcement agencies, researchers) -education about the consequences and effects of participation in sec trade, from short-term (eg jail) to long-term Things I suggest for show-runners to improve: -zoom out from your focus on porn/sex-addicted men to understand more of the cultural/socioeconomic factors behind sex trade -acknowledge modern feminism as a driver behind the sex trade and sexualized content, like the “sex work is work” mantra. Modern/radical feminism encourages women of all ages to objectify themselves or sell themselves (eg on OnlyFans) on platforms that hijack men’s brains and manipulate their emotions. -dive deeper into the effects of technology on content addiction and dehumanization - why is OF so successful? -be aware of the constant finger-wagging on male behavior that in some cases is completely natural (eg wanting to have sex). The “she is not your rehab” was particularly nails on a chalkboard, having to listen to the male sexual abuse survivor spoken to in such a patronizing/condescending tone by his wife/girlfriend. Imagine role reversal, with a man/husband telling a female SA survivor how she needs to cope and heal. -explore the impacts of fathers in the home and father-daughter relationships. The studies show that active fathers in the home are the best indicators of longterm health by any definition for the children/women. Overall: I wish this show the best but advise not using feminism to try to solve the issue of trafficking when feminism/anti-male sentiment is part of the cause.
Good content, tooo political.
Love the education about how women are subjugated too horrible treatment. Opened my eyes. However, this is getting too political. He’s turning into almost every show meeting that men are bad, women are nothing but victims, and society is full of racism and sexism. Which simply is not true. Unsubscribe. Will tell others to avoid
