Kate Whitaker: Research shows increase in young people watching porn - Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast

Research into teens’ use of pornography shows that watching porn is increasing amongst young people.
Figures recently released by the free pornography site Pornhub show numbers spiking during the Covid-19 lockdown.
