Let’s Talk About PORN

Is Porn consumption good or bad for you? Believe it or not Porn has been around for centuries. Humans have always had an interest in Erotica and sex as evidenced by cave dwellings. It wasn't until we had photography that we had pornography. In this episode of N&H special guest Dr. Megan Maas joins us to discuss Porn and how media shapes our world view of sex. We'll also talk about porn addiction, what porn does to the human brain, how capitalisim and money drive the pron industry, and how to talk to your adolescent patients and children about porn and sex. Megan Maas, PhD, is an assistant professor in Human Development & Family Studies at Michigan State University. She received her PhD in 2016 from The Pennsylvania State University as a pre-doctoral fellow funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. Her award-winning research focuses on adolescent sexual socialization, with an emphasis on the bi-directional role that social media, sexting, and online pornography play in the development of attitudes and behavior related to sexuality and gender. Broadly, she is interested in promoting healthy romantic relationships and sexual competencies and preventing unwanted sexual experiences (e.g. childhood sexual abuse, adolescent sexual harassment and assault). Particular attention is paid to female adolescents' experiences with sexual harassment, self-objectification, sexual agency, and sexual behavior.
