I wanted to share this documentary that I came across this fall and wanted to share. The documentary is called Raised on Porn: The New Sex ED and was produced in September. I appreciate the discussion about dopamine and the mechanisms of access, exposure and addiction. All children and/or young adults will be exposed to porn at some point, and having discussions before to help them understand the impact it can have on a person can be very beneficial. I have written previous blogs on porn and parenting you can access in the blog archives. The producers included a write up on their website I thought I would include:
“Raised on Porn exposes the ways pornography has become the new sex education for children and unpacks the dangerous lifelong implications of this global phenomenon. Through riveting firsthand accounts, cinematic re-enactments, 3D animation, and interviews with the world’s leading neurologists, sociologists, psychologists, and therapists, Raised on Porn is filled to the brim with raw, compelling insight on how pornography is poisoning us and our relationships. This film shatters cultural myths about the “harmless” nature of pornography and provides a sobering framework to understand how this graphic genre of media has shaped our world, eliciting a desperately-needed call for change.”
