Description
Trigger Warning: This discussion includes frank, explicit discussions of abuse and pornographic content that may be triggering to some. Listener discretion is advised.As a child, Theodosia suffered sexual abuse from an older, trusted woman in her life. To cope, she created the idea in her mind that if consent didn’t exist, she could not be violated. The trauma from the abuse later fed into violent and abusive romantic relationships, and eventually to a boyfriend introducing her to the world of pornography. Listen to Theodosia’s story about how her childhood sexual abuse shaped her understanding of sex, paved the way for her career in the underground world of BDSM pornography, and why she eventually left the porn industry on her own terms.Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.Fight the New Drug collaborates with a variety of qualified organizations and individuals with varying personal beliefs, affiliations, and political persuasions.

Introducing: Consider Before Consuming: Consider all of the things you take into account every day to help keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community happy, healthy, and hopeful. Now consider this: There is an ever-growing body of research demonstrating significant negative impacts, for yourself and the ones you love, in the consumption of pornography. It can change the way you think, harm your ability to connect with other people, and can contribute to changing the world in unhealthy ways. Consider Before Consuming is inviting you to consider the potential negative consequences of pornography—while also considering the benefits of a life free from porn and its influences. This isn’t about moral arguments, it’s about considering the facts. So consider it. Look both ways, check your blind spots, and consider before consuming. by Consider Before Consuming
