The Evolving Nature of Pornography
The podcast discusses how pornography has evolved over the years, particularly with technological advancements. Unlike previous decades, where access was limited to magazines or adult video stores, the internet has transformed pornography into something more pervasive and easily accessible. Today, new forms of pornography are emerging, including personalized and interactive content powered by artificial intelligence, creating a deceptive sense of intimacy that can disrupt real-life relationships. The conversation highlights concerns over how these modern iterations of pornography can further dehumanize individuals by reducing them to mere body parts and promoting unrealistic expectations of intimacy.
