Dedicated to raising awareness about the effects of p**n on mental health, relationships, and encouraging open conversations.

This Olympian curbed his unhealthy p**n habit - here are the signs and steps to recovery 10/08/2026

Too many young people have had or are developing a serious addiction to online s*xual content and it’s quietly stealing years of their lives.

The problem? Most have never received any real education about it.

The Online Safety Act now restricts access until 18 but VPN’s are being used & while this is an important step, it risks sending a dangerous message: that this content is somehow “okay” once you turn 18.

It isn’t!!!

Research has shown that around 88% of mainstream po*******hy contains violence or aggression, the overwhelming majority directed at women. Much of it is highly performative, extreme, and frequently depicts non-consensual or coercive scenarios. This content doesn’t just entertain it shapes young people’s understanding of s*x, consent, relationships, and what is “normal.”

We are already seeing the consequences: a worrying rise in po*******hy-related abuse and harmful s*xual behaviours among under-16s. The imprint left by this material is deep, and the lack of honest education leaves young people completely unprepared.
At Better Boundaries C.I.C., we believe this is no longer a subject we can tiptoe around. We exist to educate, equip, and protect young people giving them the tools, language, and understanding they need to navigate the digital world safely and form healthy relationships.

The time for big, honest change is now.

📻 This Thursday at 1pm on Vibe25 Radio
Better Boundaries -The show that makes sure s*x and relationships are safe in every single way.

Show title: P**n Bomb 💣

I’m joined by Samantha Marcham and Maximillian Marcham, authors of the book P**n Bomb and psychos*xual therapists who specialise in working with young people.

Samantha is a BACP & COSRT registered therapist with advanced training in psychos*xual therapy, EMDR and work with adolescents.

Max is a BACP registered counsellor and EMDR therapist who works extensively with young people, men’s mental health and p**n-related issues.

We’ll be talking about: • How and when to start conversations with your child about online s*xual content
• What the “right age” looks like
• The best ways to open those chats so they actually land
• The real impact of p**n on confidence, relationships and mental health
• Practical first steps if this feels relevant to you or someone you care about

Has your young person ever come across toxic s*xual content online?
Or have you been scrolling and something unexpected has suddenly popped up?

This is going to be an honest, practical and really useful conversation – no judgement, just clear guidance from people who do this work every day.

Focus on WHY: 525 Establish Better Boundaries with Larissa Astara Gray 29/07/2026

🎙️ Our founder just had one of the most honest conversations we've heard her have and it's live now.

Larissa Astara Gray, founder of Better Boundaries CIC, sat down with Amy Rowlinson on the Focus on WHY Podcast (Episode 525) to talk about something we discuss with young people every day: boundaries. But this time, it was personal.

Larissa opened up about her own journey — surviving s*xual violence, and how that experience became the foundation for the work we do here at Better Boundaries. Education. Consent. Self-worth. Helping young people understand what safety in relationships actually looks like.

One moment from the episode says it all:

"True intimacy is safety, care, consideration, respect and honesty."

This conversation isn't just about s*x education it's about the culture we're trying to build. One where young people, parents, and educators alike feel safe enough to ask the hard questions and have the honest conversations.

If you're a parent, teacher, or anyone who believes real change starts with uncomfortable truths, this episode is for you.

This one’s for the men ⭐️

While a lot of my shows have focused on what happens to women, this Thursday’s episode of the Better Boundaries Radio show is all about men’s experiences of abuse and toxic violent relationships and lots of other issues lots of men are facing in the world right now.

Join me at 1pm on Thursday 9th July on 📻 as I welcome a powerful men’s mental health speaker and soon-to-be author.

Andrew will bravely share his own story of domestic violence and abuse as a man in a relationship, the mental health impact this can have on men, what inspired him to write his book Honestly, Man (out 6th August), and much more.

100% of the book’s profits will support charities helping men and boys across the UK.
If you’re a man who has been through this, know someone who has, or want to understand the issue better — this is an important conversation you won’t want to miss.
