What Debra warns against

Things Debra says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.

Social media

"Social media has really affected self-esteem and body image, both boys and girls — body dysmorphia, muscle dysmorphia in young boys, plastic surgery in young girls. And then there's this hostility that I see fomented by online content."

AI chatbots

"Now we have things like AI chatbots, which I talk about in Sextinction, also pornography — it creates this entire ecosystem that I think is a hall of mirrors and offers these potential replacements for in-person sex or in-person connection that doesn't really fulfill us, but gives this perception of fulfillment."

Dating apps

"Dating apps — it's not really in their best interest to have everyone find someone and end up happily married and never need to use that technology again. When we outsource our personal lives, and especially things like emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy, to these platforms that are not necessarily looking out for our best interests, that can be potentially very unhelpful and frustrating to people. Nowadays a lot of people are experiencing dating app burnout."
