#83 | Incels, vulnerability, a new normal for online relationships & more | David Russell

* In this episode, David and I talk about themes that I haven’t covered before on the show - namely sexual abuse, pornography, and the sharing of explicit images *

Joining me on the show today is David Russell. David is professional and independent consultant working in the sector of justice, child sexual abuse and harmful sexual behaviour.

I met David recently at a series of talks about the future of masculinity where he presented on incels (involuntary celibates) - a topic that I knew nothing about 2 years ago. So, I was glad when David agreed to come on the show to talk about his research into incel culture and how to approach these conversations.

I talk to David about:

- “Incels” and their view of the world

- Why this community can appeal to boys and men

- The importance of understanding and non-judgmental conversations

- Whether it’s time to think about a “new normal” when it comes to pornography and sexual activity online

- & more
