Listen Later

In this Bell Work Talk, we examine emerging trends linking online pornography exposure to a rise in problematic sexual behaviors among youth, including child-on-child sexual assault, strangulation, and escalating sexual violence. We will explore how increasingly aggressive and accessible online content is shaping sexual scripts and contributing to vulnerabilities around online exploitation. Through a forensic and trauma-informed lens, this podcast highlights clinical considerations that support assessing patients for porn exposure and exploitation and brings hope for healing.
