Is porn just harmless entertainment—or a cultural toxin?
In this episode of American Restraint, Patrick Trepanier explores the rise of online pornography and its devastating impact on men, relationships, and American culture. From the fall of the Hays Code to the rise of hyper-individualism, we trace how Hollywood and the porn industry reshaped our national values—and why Gen Z might be waking up to the damage.
You'll hear:
• Why Gen Z is more open to restricting porn than Millennials
• How Hollywood normalized boundary-pushing content for profit
• Why porn is a public health crisis—and what states can do about it
• Two bold policy ideas to reclaim cultural standards and protect the sacred
If you're ready to push back against hyper-capitalism and cultural decay, this episode is for you.
