A Pennsylvania high school senior allegedly operated a “sextortion” and “catfishing” scheme involving over 20 underage victims, who were coerced into sending sexually explicit images and videos to the suspect.

What happens when you speak out against porn? The online hate is real. Fight the New Drug’s Social Media Manager shares some of Fight’s best and worst comments and why she decides to fight.

It’s obvious that, for good reason, women don’t like our pornified sexual culture. But it’s not easy to coordinate a society-wide renegotiation of its terms. And so the sexual and relational landscape is increasingly bleak and barren. Americans are less likely to be married, or even partnered, and they report having less, and less satisfying, sex. Instead of the happiness, authenticity, and pleasure that sexual liberation promised, there is a loneliness epidemic and sexual dysfunction as men and women are driven further apart.

When a person is suffering from an addiction or compulsion, their stress response and their addiction can become intertwined in unhealthy ways, thus creating an unhealthy coping cycle.

In the report What’s Porn Got to Do With It? The Link Between Viewing Adult Pornography and Harmful Sexual Behaviour, by the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, examined how exposure to adult pornography fits into broader pathways toward sexual harm. The authors note that today’s online porn environment is marked by constant availability, extreme novelty, and increasingly explicit content, which can shape sexual attitudes and expectations for some users.

“Imagine losing control of your own likeness or identity,” Durbin said. “Imagine that happening to you when you were in high school. Imagine how powerless victims feel when they cannot remove illicit content, cannot prevent it from being reproduced repeatedly and cannot prevent new images from being created. The consequences can be profound.”

What gives me hope is that schools are choosing to address these issues instead of ignoring them. Education helps students understand that harmful behaviors aren’t “normal” just because they’re common—and that they don’t have to face these challenges alone.

Most young people are getting at least some of their education about sex from porn, whether they mean to or not. This is especially concerning, considering how wildly unrealistic and toxic porn can be.
