S1E42: The Unspoken Rules of Porn | The Sex Science Podcast

Описание: Pornography use is widespread, but most couples never talk about it.

In fact, a study of more than 3,300 heterosexual couples found that two-thirds had never once discussed rules or expectations around porn. For many, the silence stems from awkwardness, avoidance, or simply assuming it doesn’t need to be addressed.

Yet other couples do set clear boundaries, ranging from “no restrictions” to “only together” to strict bans rooted in moral or religious beliefs. This diversity of approaches highlights both the complexity of porn in relationships and the importance of communication.

Tune in as we unpack the various ways people do, and don’t, handle porn in their intimate relationships.
