Campaigners have argued for years that consuming too much pornography can leave viewers, particularly young men, with an unrealistic expectation of sex. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could be set to make this problem worse. Digital avatars can participate in sex acts that wouldn’t be possible – or enjoyable – for real people.

Sex therapist and psychologist Chantal Gaultier explores the ethics of watching AI porn and the impact it can have, both on the people who watch it and the actors who may unwittingly find themselves starring in it. Her top tips for becoming “porn literate” explain how to consume AI adult content in a way that’s fair to performers, to sexual partners – and to yourself.

In the eyes of the Tudors, food was the ultimate gift from God, as it sustained life on earth. Looking at the as-yet unopened stash of Easter eggs on top of my fridge, I’m inclined to agree with them. But what did this belief mean for food that went uneaten? Historian Eleanor Barnett explains how our ancestors dealt with food waste – and the guilt that accompanied it.

It’s much easier to not waste food (and abstain from chocolate eggs) when you’re participating in Lent or Ramadan. And, as research shows, fasting can have cardiovascular benefits too.
