Long gone are the days when the extent of our most common form of consumption of – or unintentional contact with – pornography was an old copy of Playboy stashed beneath the bed.
But much has changed in the last decade or so in terms of pornography access and usage. Late last year, Playboy announced that it would no longer publish its nude centrefold, an overdue acknowledgement that the iconic glossy men’s magazine can no longer compete with the proliferation of pornography available for free, and often produced by amateurs, on the internet.
How is the proliferation of pornography affecting Australians today? And how have attitudes towards pornography changed? Madeleine Morris will be joined by a panel of experts for a full hour of Q&A about pornography and relationships, pleasure, violence, education, mental health and sexuality.
