Pornography in the digital age

Pornography has always existed; the internet made it ambient, free, and infinitely varied in ways that have no historical precedent. The research on its effects — on sexual expectation, relationship satisfaction, developmental sexuality — points toward change, if not always to clear conclusions. What is being shaped, and in whom: these questions deserve honest engagement, not dismissal or panic.
