Summary
On today's show: Dennis continues to explore the complexities of pornography. He delves into the arguments against it, including its addictive nature, the idea that it's a substitute for real love, and the notion that it's inherently misogynistic. Dennis also discusses the concept of modesty, suggesting that women are not naturally inclined to expose themselves, and that something must have led them to pose for Playboy or other magazines. He touches on the topic of heterophobia, highlighting the double standard in society's treatment of male and female sexuality.
