Course Description

There are a lot of big feelings about this topic, and there's a lot of misinformation.

This 90-minute introductory ethics CE provides clinicians with clear, balanced, evidence-based, sex-positive, and client-centered understanding.

You’ll step away from this course with greater comfort and competence to address a major hot-button issue in the counseling world.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Differentiate evidence-based risks from common myths about pornography use.

• Summarize key research on pornography use and psychosocial correlates to inform clinical understanding.

• Evaluate how age-verification laws may shape client experiences of shame, privacy, and sexual autonomy.

• Apply ethical and sexual-health frameworks to support informed, non-pathologizing, and client-centered care.

Ethical Focus:

This course is grounded in ACA (2014) and AASECT (2016) ethical codes emphasizing:

• Autonomy • Veracity • Non-maleficence • Justice

• Cultural humility and avoidance of bias

• Competence in addressing sexual behavior within counseling practice
