People today are too afraid to call out the porn industry over the damage it is doing to society, Shane Coleman has warned. A new ESRI study has found that young men are far more likely to watch porn online than young women. The study is based on answers given by 4,500 20-year-olds as part of the Growing Up in Ireland survey. In all 64% of young men said they use online porn compared to just 13% of young women. Men who use online porn reported poorer well-being than non-users, saying they felt less satisfied with their lives and reporting higher depressive symptoms and poorer self-image. Meanwhile, young people who watch porn were found to be less likely to regularly use condoms. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 📱 Have you downloaded the Newstalk app? - Find the app in the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thisisaim.newstalk&hl=en_IE&gl=US - Find the app via Apple: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/newstalk-106-108-fm/id372643826 #️⃣ SUBSCRIBE to the Newstalk social channels: - YOUTUBE | null - TWITTER | twitter.com/newstalkfm - INSTAGRAM | instagram.com/newstalkfm/ - FACEBOOK | facebook.com/newstalkfm - WEBSITE | https://www.newstalk.com/ 🎧 PODCAST - listen at your leisure: newstalk.com/podcasts - iTunes: search for Newstalk in your app! - Spotify: search for Newstalk for our latest pods and news - Or wherever you get your podcasts! 📱GET IN TOUCH WITH NEWSTALK - WhatsApp: get in touch on 0871400106
