Let's Talk About Pornography. No, Seriously.
Briefly

Dr. Willoughby’s work with parents reveals a stark reality: teenagers today engage with pornography that is not only hard-core but often violent, prompting essential discussions about its effects on relationships.
Conversations about modern pornography, Dr. Willoughby argues, necessitate a pragmatic shift, urging parents to confront the issue rather than wish it away, emphasizing that it's a prevalent reality.
Past attempts by parents to ignore adolescent pornography consumption are outdated; Dr. Willoughby stresses that educational discussions are vital to help youth understand the unrealistic portrayals in explicit content.
He reflects on the changing landscape of pornography, remarking that many parents are still stuck thinking of it in terms like 'Playboy,' unaware of the more graphic and violent content that dominates today.
