Researching Pornography with Dr. Taylor Kohut
Episode description
In Episode 38 we are joined by Dr. Taylor Kohut from the University of Western Ontario to discuss pornography, its consumption, and the consequences of pornography on relationships. Taylor shares with us how pornography makes us feel, think, and behave, and why it is important to understand the intersection between porn users and pornographic preferences. What is pornography? Does pornography consumption lead to sexual violence or other anti-social behaviours? How does consuming pornography effect your sexual satisfaction and how you perceive your partner? All this and much more in Researching Pornography with Dr. Taylor Kohut!
