In this episode we talk about the many effects of pornography, how it has the ability to shape our behaviours, attitudes and beliefs about sex, and how we can help to educate people about consuming pornography. Remember, porn should be viewed as entertainment, not education.
Trigger warning: this episode mentions sexual violence and harrassment. If you or someone you know needs support at any time, contact LifeLine on 13 11 14 or call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732).
