Now more than ever, free online porn is a primary way people learn how to get down and dirty. This can lead to unrealistic expectations about how sex “should” look. What to do about this? In this episode, we entertain possible solutions – from porn that is intentionally educational to content that portrays more realistic depictions of sex. You’ll hear from sex workers-educators who create explicit sex ed for adults, plus high schoolers who took a class on porn literacy. You’ll also learn how to contextualize what you see with help from one of our favorite Doms...Dom Toretto of the Fast and Furious franchise.
