On today’s episode of the MISSING podcast, we’re exploring the effects of pornography on adolescent sexuality, along with clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and author Dr. Danielle Knafo, who is a professor at Long Island University’s clinical psychology doctoral program, and an associate clinical professor at New York University's postdoctoral program in psychoanalysis. Also joining us on the show is human rights activist, researcher, and founder of the NGO HAQ: Centre for Child Rights, Enakshi Ganguly. The experts touch upon the effects of sex being a taboo subject in the Indian culture and especially in adolescent conversations, the negative and longlasting impact of young people’s exposure to pornography, the link between pornography and sexual offences amongst adolescents, and whether laws and punitive measures are actionable substitutes for larger societal changes.  Trigger Warning: Please note, this episode contains themes and depictions of sexual violence and human trafficking that may be disturbing to listeners.
