Young Adult Relationships: Dating & Marriage in the Porn Era
Sean Musil and Panel
The impact of pornography on relationships is one of young adult’s greatest concerns regarding this issue. This panel will share ideas for getting it out in the open with compassion and honesty.
Panel members:

Alex Musil is a young woman who cares about people. She married Sean in 2014. She hasn’t been directly impacted by pornography, however, since Sean has a past with pornography (which was all before they started dating) the two of them have many safe guards put in place to ensure continued trust and openness. They both live in Davis County, and have a 2-year-old Shiba Inu dog, named Bear.
