What impact is porn having on our society? And what should we do about it? It’s easy to blame porn for a lot - sexual assault rates, the burgeoning Gen Z gender divide, plastic surgery. But what’s the truth about internet porn?
The average age Australian kids see porn is 13. Lots of them come across it by accident, and they generally don’t like to be surprised by it online. More than half of Australian 15-22 year old guys are watching porn weekly. For girls, that number is only 14%. Around 20% of people around the world watch porn regularly.
Where are people watching porn? Is there a distinction between good porn and bad porn? Or safe porn and dangerous porn? How do we talk to our kids about it, and at what age? Is regulation the answer?
In this episode we start to understand porn, where it is and who’s watching it.
Episodes are released weekly on Wednesdays from 24th September (Episode One).
