AI Summary

In her new book, Sexion, she argues that the progressive consensus around sexuality—that anything goes as long as it’s consensual—is not neutral science but an ideology that is harming people, especially the young. The central question of the episode is straightforward: if consent is the only moral standard, what happens when the evidence shows that the behaviors being normalized are making people less connected, less healthy, and less likely to form lasting relationships?
The Sex Recession and the Case Against Porn
Soh’s change of mind began with a statistical puzzle. Across multiple data sets, she found that one in three men and one in five women in developed countries had not had sex in the past year. Married people were having less sex too. “I began really asking, why is this happening and what is taking the place of that connection?” she says. Her answer is pornography.

Show Notes
Allie sits down for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Debra Soh, neuroscientist, sex researcher, and author of the book “Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy.” Dr. Soh, previously identified as “sex positive” but now criticizes the harmful movement that holds consent as the only moral standard. Many scientists in her field have political motivations and agendas they want to push on the public which has affected their research. Her evolving views surrounding her research demonstrates her credibility on these topics as she draws conclusions from fact rather than fitting them into a political agenda. She discusses how many are choosing AI over actual people both physically and relationally. What many see as harmless actually poses danger to children and can lead to the degradation of human beings. Dr. Soh also explains the reason many GenZ are identifying as gay and why both sexes would benefit from being less promiscuous, proving scientifically what God has said from the beginning.
