Today, we're joined by Benji Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. We start off with a discussion on the fact that pornography is upstream from trafficking and that if people want to justify consuming porn, they also have to sign off on the atrocities that happen to make porn. We talk about why porn isn't just something between two consenting adults, but rather that it always results in objectification and dehumanization. We talk about how porn producers view men and women and how many Christian books on sex have even gotten the subject of a woman's responsibility in relationships wrong. Stay tuned for part two!
