In this powerful episode of P-Word Talks, clinical psychologist and researcher Dr. Elly Hanson explores how pornography, algorithms, and objectification are reshaping young people’s minds, relationships, and sexual values.
We discuss the harm caused by self-objectification, the myth of “ethical porn,” why “consent culture” isn’t enough, and how profit-driven platforms like OnlyFans are shaping sexual norms.
Essential listening for educators, parents, and anyone who wants to help the next generation thrive in a pornified world.
