In Episode 3 of The Sexuality Clinic Podcast titled "Adult Media" we delve into the significant ways adult media influences intimacy. With the rise of accessible adult content, many individuals find their expectations around sex, body image, and performance shaped by unrealistic portrayals. Host Roxanna Smallwood, a Canadian Clinical Sexologist, explores how this media often sets distorted standards, potentially leading to performance anxiety, self-doubt, and dissatisfaction in real-life relationships.

Drawing on insights from experts like Dr. Jen Gunter, and Michael Castleman, the episode examines how adult media can overshadow essential elements of intimacy—such as communication, mutual respect, and emotional connection. This episode offers actionable steps to counter these pressures: recognizing adult media as fiction, communicating openly with partners, and rediscovering personal desires and boundaries.
