Pornography has quietly reshaped a generation’s understanding of sex, desire, power, and consent—and the world is only beginning to face the consequences. In this provocative episode of “Sexual Chemistry”, host Zoya Sinclair breaks down how modern porn has evolved from static images into a digital mega-industry, deeply influencing how people view relationships, intimacy, and sexual identity.

We explore what the data really says about early exposure, violence in porn, the male gaze, and how digital pornography is filling the sex education void in the U.S. Discover why both men and women are feeling pressure to conform to pornographic scripts, and how this shift is affecting emotional connection, consent, and self-worth.

This isn’t a moral panic. It’s a deep dive into neuroscience, gender dynamics, and cultural reality—with voices from research, classrooms, and real experiences.
