Laid Bare with Anonymous X

46 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -

Porn is a significant part of our culture today, influencing all aspects of young people's lives. Parents are largely unaware of how today's porn is vastly different from just one generation ago and the significant impact it is making in their children and teen's lives. The Laid Bare with Anonymous X podcast brings you the world's best experts on the topic of pornography, sexual health, and education as well as raw testimonies from young people about how porn has influenced their lives (anonymously of course). My goal is to combat the negative impact of “porn culture” on our emotional, physical and sexual health, especially that of young people and empower parents and teens with information to help them live their best lives.
