💬 “When a 13 year old boy stumbles across pornography, I don't think very many of them are interested in seeing women being gagged or choked or degraded. But that is likely to be what they'll see” -Maree Crabbe

⚡️ Maree Crabbe is the Co-Founder of ‘It’s Time We Talked’, an organisation helping children and young people avoid porn’s influence. She has been interviewing people about porn and its impacts for 15 years.

⚡️ In this episode, Maree and I discuss the sharp rise in violent sexual acts being depicted in mainstream, online pornography - and how that’s crossing over into the bedroom.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡︎ How hardcore porn is reaching children as young as 9

➡︎ How strangulation, coercion and deep-throating is becoming more prevalent

➡ Why the industry is increasingly promoting incest, teen and non-consesual themes

➡︎ What too much extreme porn is doing to our sexual health

➡︎ Strategies to reduce or eliminate porn from your life
