At the 2022 CESE Summit, Haley McNamara sits down with German abolitionist and writer Elly Arrow for a powerful conversation about the reality of legalized prostitution in Germany. Elly shares on-the-ground insights into how the legal system has expanded the sex trade, obscured trafficking, and failed those it claims to protect. Together, they unpack the violence and exploitation faced by women in the system, the role of sex buyers, and why Elly believes real justice starts with tackling male demand. As the voice behind The Invisible Men – Germany, Elly brings data, quotes, and unflinching analysis that reveal the truth behind the headlines. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand what "legalization" really means for human dignity and safety.

Haley McNamara (SVP at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (SVP and Director of the Law Center at NCOSE) take a closer look at the impact that pornography use has on our sexual arousal template. More specifically, they discuss some studies that have been done to demonstrate the rise in violent sexual behavior like choking or strangulation. These experiments were able to condition men to be aroused by shapes and inanimate objects, and it demonstrates that when a person is exposed to pornography, they can be conditioned to be aroused by the harmful behaviors that are depicted.
