"Porn is like the junk food of healthy sex and relationships."
Aaron and Rob interview Ian Henderson, founder of the Naked Truth Project. about how he got involved in this work of opening eyes and freeing lives from the damages of porn. While Naked Truth is based in Manchester, UK, they work with people all over the world. The "open eyes" aspect focuses on education to combat the normalization of porn by presenting in schools and elsewhere to raise awareness of the dangers of porn. The "freeing lives" portion focuses on those who have already been trapped in addiction, and also help for their partners. The work goes well beyond just stopping the behavior, moving individuals to healthy growth and reclaiming what was lost.
