You know, these same websites, these same apps are visited by children, you know, two or three clicks away and you're onto something that kids shouldn't be looking at.
So it comes, it drips down from us grownups really understanding that there is a consequence of a lot of this in our own behavior.
When I look at this content, and I guess this was me for 30 years, when I decided to speak about it, I talked about having had an addiction to it since the age of nine.
Or being introduced to explicit adult material at nine years old.
It became a thread for my entire life for 30 years.
I know what happens.
I know what happens when you are repeatedly exposed to this kind of material.
What it does to your sexual script.
How, as a child, that is your first...
mapping of what sex looks like.
And the way that I saw it change over decades to the violent, to the sexual objectification of women, it's no surprise when I see kind of the division
the volatility that exists on social media and some of the really difficult things that we societally have to come to grips with and ends up, like I think of what is the cost of addiction to this kind of material?
And I think, you know, you're probably often asked the same question when it comes to addiction to drink and drugs.
And it is depleted mental health.
It is cost of relationships.
It is cost and finances.
It does often come to end of life, whether it is suicide or, you know, affects physically on your body.
I think in this world,
The extent of it, the cost of it, leads to sexual crime.
Because I think that kind of material being so disassociative of the women and the girls in your life, you're not thinking about the important people that you love in your life when you're watching it, especially over time.
