The Modern Sex Industry’s Race To The Bottom

Elly Arrow talks to Esther, Policy Advisor at Nordic Model Now and survivor of exploitation in prostitution and pornography, about the modern sex industry's downward spiral of ever more extreme acts for ever lower prices. They discuss why the industry doesn't allow for genuine female autonomy or safety and how male demands for degradation and violence are both cause and consequence of the sex industry. They touch on OnlyFans, BDSM, snuff films, human trafficking, and Esther's own experience of narrowly surviving commercial sexual exploitation.
