"I just found it so fascinating that the campaigns that were put out saying that porn is a public health issue were not public health people...they were put out by religious organizations."
In this episode of Called to be Bad I talk with sex educator Erica Smith about the ways religion has influenced the public's opinion on porn. How does purity culture affect the way we view porn? Is a "porn addiction" a helpful term? Is there a way we can hold nuance and include sex workers in our discussions about porn, religion, and ethics?
