What happens when you bring six leading voices together to talk about pornography? In The P Word Talks, Ian Henderson travels across the country to have honest, eye-opening conversations with experts including Dr. Paula Hall, Helen Taylor, Dr. Alex Bailey, Dr. Elly Hanson, Lord Bethell, and Dame Rachel de Souza. They come from different backgrounds—mental health, safeguarding, politics, and public advocacy—and they don’t always agree with each other, or with Naked Truth, on every point. But they do agree on this: porn is causing real harm, and it’s time we talked about it.

Inside OnlyFans: Exploitation, Agencies & the Truth Behind the Platform with Victoria Sinis

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, July 13, 2026 • Duration 01:09:18

In this bonus episode of P-Word Talks, Ian speaks with Victoria, a former OnlyFans agency worker from Australia, about the reality behind the platform’s “empowering” image.

Victoria explains how OnlyFans agencies recruit women, manage accounts, impersonate creators, use social media to drive subscribers, and gradually push boundaries through financial pressure and manipulation. She also shares her own powerful story of leaving the industry, finding faith, and now speaking out about the harms of digital exploitation.

This episode explores the truth behind OnlyFans, the impact on young women, the role of agencies and “digital pimps,” the influence of TikTok and Instagram, and why pornography should be seen as a public health issue.

Helen Taylor: Fighting Sex Trafficking & Porn’s Hidden Exploitation Machine

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, July 21, 2025 • Duration 01:12:41

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This video contains discussion of pornography, sexual exploitation, and related sensitive topics. Please watch with care.

Can an industry built on exploitation ever be made safe? And what happens when we stop pretending porn is harmless?

In this compelling episode of P WORD TALKS, Ian Henderson interviews Helen Taylor, Vice President of Impact at Exodus Cry — a global movement committed to abolishing sex trafficking and confronting the exploitation at the heart of the commercial sex industry.

Originally from London, Helen has spent over a decade reaching people in red-light districts, brothels, strip clubs, and jails — both in the U.S. and around the world. She is also the lead author of Exodus Cry’s Intervention Manual, which has trained hundreds of teams and churches in how to support and reach those trapped in sexual exploitation.

In this episode, Helen shares:

Why the porn industry’s model is inherently exploitative — not empowering
The false language of “choice” and how it masks coercion and abuse
How porn normalizes violence and shapes cultural attitudes toward women
What she saw at a major porn industry conference — and why it was chilling
Why tech platforms and porn giants profit from trafficking and non-consensual content
The emotional cost of doing outreach — and the hope she’s witnessed firsthand
What it means to fight for justice and real sexual freedom in a pornified world

📍 Most shocking moment? Helen describes the atmosphere inside a porn expo: “Men were laughing at abuse. No one questioned it. The industry’s public image is a lie — and I saw it up close.”

“Real empowerment isn’t being consumed. It’s being seen, protected, and loved.”
