The National Population and Family Development Council found that more than one-third of teenagers consume porn. The study, conducted last May, also revealed that one in 20 among unmarried Malaysians aged between 13 and 24 is sexually active. On this episode of Digital Desires, a show exploring the intersection between technology and intimacy, Fuad and Vizla examine the psychology of porn addiction, how it affects relationships and whether we need more reproductive education in school.
