The porn conversation
A social responsability project created to suport open, informed conversations about sex, porn, and intimicy. As sexual imagery becomes part of everyday culture, many young people encounter it before they have the tools to fully understand it. The project offers families and educators accessible resources to talk about porn literacy, consent, boundaries, and respectful relationships, without fear, shame, or judgment.
