When Sex Ed Goes Silent, Porn Gets Loud: Why Porn Literacy Matters

In this episode, we unzip what porn literacy actually is. Spoiler: it’s not about whether you watch porn—it’s about how you understand it. From awkward anatomy to unrealistic expectations, we explore how porn shapes our ideas about sex, bodies, and pleasure—and why it’s time to start talking about it without shame.We break down the difference between fantasy and reality, what ethical porn can offer, and how media literacy (yes, even for porn) is a critical part of sexual health. Whether you’re a curious viewer, a confused partner, or just someone trying to make sense of the messages we get about sex, this conversation is about thinking more clearly—and more compassionately—about the role porn plays in our lives.If you have a story, thoughts and/or a topic or question for Dr. Sue and Charlie please share your ideas here:  ⁠Show suggestions
