About The Coolidge Effect

You watch porn. Right? You don' t have to tell us. That's not what this is about. In 2020, pornography is all around us and the amount we watch it is growing at an exponential rate: in the UK alone, 10 million porn videos are consumed every day. As society's access of pornography increases, so can our unwillingness to talk about it. The Coolidge Effect seeks to break this taboo. Devised from interviews with porn advocates, addicts, mental health experts and scientists, these unique stories and viewpoints are told through four intertwining narratives: George, a Gameboy wielding teenager; Gary, a father lost in the depths of his own addiction; Gail, a pioneering porn producer and Retrospect, an ex-porn addict who wants you to understand. The Coolidge Effect uses a blend of storytelling, poetry and science to examine how pornography affects our mental health, relationships and sexual experiences.
