In episode six of our Men For Equality series, Merly Åsbogård interviews Swedish researcher Dr. Max Waltman, who has published extensively on the subject of exploitation in prostitution and porn. They explore the history, successes, as well as some of the limitations of the Nordic Model approach to prostitution and its contrasts with countries like Germany or New Zealand. They discuss how this might translate to the treatment of pornography, including Sweden’s recent move to rein in OnlyFans.
