Is there a problem with porn?

With the proliferation of the internet since the ‘90s, access to pornography has grown exponentially. Ofcom reported that in September 2020, half of all adults watched porn and there is growing use amongst children. However, porn consumption clearly remains a taboo within all communities.
The impact of this is already being felt, with rising addiction problems, normalisation of, mainly female, exploitation, and the increasing commoditisation of sex. Fuelled by social media, many women are opting to produce their own pornographic content for paying customers, and, in some cases, people are choosing pornography over real intimacy.

Is porn irreversibly harming society, or do we need to accept it’s existence as the new normal?

Join us as we explore the morality of pornography consumption and discuss whether education is key to dealing with pornographic content that children may inevitably be exposed to.
