this means so much! thank you for reading :) it was a long project that i spent months researching and rewriting, researching this essay made me lose faith in humanity severely, so i just had to share my pain with you all!

Very well written Hope and thought provoking.

It's a minefield for today's generation of women but also men, who with no other education to note believe porn is reality.

To be fair it's always been a problem but reading this has opened my eyes to a more dangerous addiction.

Well done for bringing it to people's attention.

It's people like you, Hope, who bring light and change to society

Much love
