Summary

In this eye-opening episode, we’re joined by Lisa Thompson, Vice President of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s Research Institute. We delve into the complex and often misunderstood connection between pornography and sexual exploitation. We explore how the consumption of porn fuels industries that profit from human trafficking and exploitation, and the psychological, relational, and societal consequences of widespread pornography use. We discuss the legal gaps that allow these harms to persist, and what policies need to change to protect vulnerable individuals. We also tackle the role of social media and mainstream platforms in spreading exploitative content and the accountability measures that should be in place. Parents and caregivers will gain insight into the significant impact pornography has on children and teens, with practical advice on how to safeguard their well-being.

0:11.2	Pure Desire podcast, your biblically based and clinically informed approach to healing from

0:22.3	402 and here joining me as my co-host for this series is Mrs. Ashley Jameson. Ashley,
0:29.3	welcome back to the podcast. Happy to be here. Happy to be unpacking these very intense topics with
0:37.1	you. Yes, unpacking. That was a very good pun that
0:40.6	you threw in there. What most of our listeners won't know is between now and the last time you were
0:45.7	a co-host, you have moved like all the way across the country. So I don't know if you want to
0:50.8	comment on that or we can just leave it there, but you're in a totally
0:54.2	different location than you were last time. I am. I mean, as most of our listeners know, we're
0:59.6	making a company-wide move to Nashville. We're very excited. I have landed. I can see boxes
1:06.2	from my desk and I'm here. Yeah, that's awesome. We are joking that like now Ashley's front yard is the
1:13.8	address for our Nashville office because she's the first employee there. She's forging the way for us.
1:20.3	And yeah, thank, thank you for being a part of today's conversation, which I thought was a really
1:24.2	important one. So today is part two of three in a series that we're doing
1:28.7	that we're calling the other side of the screen. And what we've been looking at is the impact
1:34.1	that pornography use has on other people and really on our world at large. And I think today's
1:40.1	conversation was great because we really got to interview an expert, truly an expert, from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, one of their VPs, and it's Lisa Thompson,
1:49.9	who's a part of their research division.
1:51.6	And we had a great conversation with her just about the connection between pornography
