Modern Wisdom #956

This post is being made to bring awareness, not to condemn. If you haven’t already, I strongly encourage anyone viewing this post to watch Modern Wisdom’s most recent podcast episode. Laila Mickelwait is the guest who is working hard to take down Pornhub and their parent companies. She exposes that 91% of Pornhub’s content was recently removed due to rape, drug/alcohol abuse, trafficking, kidnapping, etc… As I reflect on my porn consumption, it’s fair to assume that unbeknownst to me, I probably consumed porn where someone was victimized. This will take time to process; I can’t imagine I am the only one who felt this way once I became aware. Knowing this helps me and can help you finally quit consuming porn. We have become so much more aware of the detrimental effects of porn in general, but now we have even more data to confirm sobriety is the correct step forward. Be quitting porn and removing it from your life, you help yourself and help victims who have their trauma replayed over and over. Again, this post is not meant to shame anyone. I am making this to spread awareness so we can win the small fights, battles, and ultimately the war. Whether you’re 8 years sober or 1 day, you can make an impact by simply sharing this episode and talking with your friends about the victims who suffer daily because of this site. Stay strong - we can win this fight together.
