For some parents and grandparents today, their high school relationships were “sweet” and innocent. While this was not the case for everyone in previous generations, today, the dating landscape has dramatically shifted. In current culture, many girls' ideas of relationships are informed by rom-coms at a time while their male counterparts are watching porn. Relationship and sexual expectations couldn’t be further apart.
If you listen to pop culture’s take on pornography you will hear, “Porn is absolutely not problematic” and sometimes even described as “healthy.” Cultural narratives insist, "Everyone watches porn and if you don’t like it, you are the one with the problem.”
With easy access and early exposure most young people have seen and many habituate pornography. Young men are more than twice as likely than young women to habituate porn. So how does it impact relationships? Can pornography destroy a relationship? How does porn affect you and/or your partner’s mental health and attitudes about sex? Has your partner insisted you watch porn?
What role does porn have in changing intimate relationships and sexual expectations? How does your partner feel about themselves when you watch porn? Is everything as “peachy” as the media and the porn industry would have you believe?
In today’s 7 On Sundays episode, you will hear from Nicole. She shares how pornography changed her sexual relationship with her first and long-term boyfriend and made her feel like she was never enough!
