**DISCLAIMER: View Discretion is advised. please consider your mental state before consuming, as we talk about graphic and abusive content related to the porn industry and global trafficking industry.** In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Benjamin Nolot, who is the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, a non profit fighting to end trafficking and sexual exploitation. We discuss the rapidly changing world of commercial sexual exploitation and the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, the emergence of AI-generated pornography, and how these technologies are reshaping cultural attitudes toward sex, intimacy, and human dignity. Benjamin also shares insights from his latest documentary, Buying Her, which exposes the often-ignored demand side of the sex trade: the men who purchase sex. Together we unpack the deeper questions behind the headlines—how modern digital sex industries mask themselves as empowering, how pornography exposure is affecting society, and why the demand for commercial sex is the critical role in fueling exploitation and trafficking. It’s a sobering conversation about culture, responsibility, and what it means to protect the vulnerable in a rapidly evolving digital world.
