It’s just harmless fun, right?
Most people in America have viewed pornography. Do you know what it does to you? Does it hurt you? Does it help you? Is it different for men than it is for women? Is it harmless fun that affects only you–or could porn have other consequences? When does casual viewing become an addiction*?
“I have been treating sexual violence victims and perpetrators for 13 years. I have not treated a single case of sexual violence that did not involve pornography.” Dr. Mary Anne Layden, University of Pennsylvania
This session explores the topic in a non-threatening, informative format. Students will be able to assess porn’s impact in their own lives as well as the impact porn may have on potential partners.
