Hello Eavesdroppers! This week we talk about the murky world of porn…
At 11 years of age, singer-songwriter Billie Eilish began watching porn. The more she watched, the more hardcore it got in order to get the same effect. Billie’s story inspired Michelle to delve into how porn affects the brain – and your life… Listen now to find out how watching porn rewires your brain, why watching porn kills your desire for actual sex and why it’s so addictive.
Geordie then talks about the trend for people watching porn on their phones in public before diving into the golden age of porn – the 1970s. She discusses the vintage porn classic Debbie Does Dallas and touches on the mystery surrounding the film’s leading lady Bambi Woods. 2 Girls, 1 Cup gets a mention, as does Deep Throat and the controversy around the film’s star Linda Lovelace – find out more about Linda’s story and why she became an anti-porn advocate. All this and more on Eavesdroppin’ – listen now!
