‘I don’t want any child to watch my porn’: The OnlyFans star who’d rather lose money than have teen clicks

Today, the UK is set to introduce age verification checks on porn sites to stop under age people from accessing explicit content.An Ofcom report showed 8 % of children aged 8–14 accessed porn in just one month, showing a desperate need for change. But will these measures actually work or do they risk pushing young people towards darker corners of the internet? For this special episode of The Daily T, Camilla talks through the new rules and the recommendations made by the Independent Pornography Review with Rebecca Goodwin, an adult film star, and Shaun Flores, a mental health advocate and educator who was addicted to porn.We explore how easy it is for teenagers to access adult content, what impact it’s having on mental health and relationships, and whether new laws banning acts like strangulation in porn will make a difference. We also discuss porn performer and content creator Bonnie Blue, who has spoken about creating more extreme content to survive in a competitive market - and the uncomfortable questions this raises about what our young people are seeing about sex online.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanEditor: Camilla TomineyStudio Operator: Meghan Searle Hosted on Acast.
