Speak Up Kōrerotia - The influence of porn on young people( 0:58:22)

Online porn is very often aggressive, non-consensual, and shows behaviour that we would normally deem at the very least ‘unhealthy’ and at worst, illegal. If young people are viewing this porn and perceiving this behaviour as normal and/or acceptable, how are these views shaping the way they comport themselves moving forwards into their adult lives and developing relationships? Anne Heins joins Sally as co-host, and they talk with Tracy Clelland (University of Canterbury) and Jo Robertson (The Light Project) about the role of porn in young people's lives.
