502 - The 5 Ways That Pornography and Sex Trafficking Intersect

Inspired by an upcoming interview with Benji Nolot of Exodus Cry, Sathiya shares the 5 ways that pornography and sex trafficking intersect. While these two subjects are often discussed separately, the reality is they are inextricably linked in rather disturbing ways. By understanding the correlation between the two, you may think twice the next time you feel tempted to watch porn.
1) Predatory nature of prostitution
2) Non-consenting is the norm for prostitutes (and then the films are released online)
3) Child victims of sex trafficking are shown pornography as a way to groom them into sex trafficking in the name of love
4) Pornography fuels men's appetite for prostitution
5) Pornography is created through multiple layers of coercion (not abduction)
