Porn Part 1: Sex & Society

Published: April 14, 2015, 6 a.m.

In this episode, the Very Loose Women - Emma and Katherine - examine the effect pornography has on love and sex in the age of the internet. In an interview recorded at the Feminism in London Conference 2014, anti-pornography campaigner and academic Gail Dines discusses her book 'Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality', and why she believes that porn is always violence against women. Sam Bowman, Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Institute; a free market libertarian think tank, offers a contrasting view and explains why he believes porn is good for society as a whole. Independent, Telegraph and New Statesman journalist Matt Rowland Hill discusses the impact hardcore pornography has had on his own sex life, and a female listener catalogues her first forays into the world of online porn. Part 2 will explore female-centric pornography.
