Porn and Masculinity: How to Teach Kids about Sex and Relationships (Jordan Stephens)

How is online porn affecting sex and relationships? In this
episode, musician and campaigner Jordan Stephens calls for a new
approach to sex education and a modern redefinition of
masculinity.


From Paris Hilton to Bonnie Blue and AI generated porn he
discusses how sexual content is evolving and the impact it is
having on young people’s lives.


Jordan also explains how his childhood and the whirlwind fame he
found with Rizzle Kicks led to heartbreak and addiction.
