Porn, Huh?

May 16, 2021 | Porn, Religious Trauma, Secular Sexuality

A decade or so ago I found myself surrounded by other college students listing off things that are sins, as adults tend to do. Once someone bravely tossed out the idea of ‘pornography’ a long cold silence washed over the place. The group leader began to solicit more sins, looking for the one he was sure to come next. Baffled by the failure of several attempts, someone finally offered up the one sin that always goes alongside porn- masturbation (*shiver*) . Fast forward a couple of degrees, countless conversations with clients, co-hosts and guests on SecX and uh, a fair amount of personal research and turns out there is just so, so much more to porn. Catch my conversation with Laura and Sinn below and be sure to check back afterwards for some footNOTES!
