In the episode, we invited our good friend, Julie to sit down with us and discuss the possible pros and cons of porn and the industry itself. Julie shares information on the ‘no-fap’ community and porn addiction. She also discusses some shocking statistics on what is popular and how much we consume porn. Annaig gives a brief history of porn and how it came to be what we know today.
