On this week’s episode, we sat down with Hennes Doltz, former John School educator and current Project Leader for the EmpowerMen Project - working to engage men and boys in the prevention of sexual exploitation. 

From psychological and social factors, to economic and emotional factors, we delve into all areas Hennes has explored over the years with his extensive career in understanding the motivations behind why men purchase sex. 

Additionally, we examined the impact of pornography on societal desensitization, how it is used as a gateway, as well as how sex work and the term “toxic” masculinity contribute to the broader issues of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
