Dad Starting Over

Ralph discusses pornography, sex work, and their psychological and social effects. He starts by examining the historical background of these industries, disproving the idea that they are recent inventions and instead showing they meet long-standing demands. He then addresses the psychological impacts on men who frequently watch porn, noting the risks of addiction and challenges in forming real-life sexual relationships.

On a wider societal level, Ralph points out the negative influence of pornography on teenagers, stressing the unrealistic standards and fantasies it promotes. He includes stories from social workers and clinicians about how exposure to sexualized content can lead to harmful first sexual experiences for teens. Ralph also mentions his book, Real Talk: No Bullshit Life Advice for Young Men, which aims to give practical advice to young men on sexual issues, puberty, and relationships.
