This anthology takes the ever-controversial discussion of
pornography out of solely academic circles; it expands the
questions about porn that academics might tackle and opens the
conversation to those who know it best–the creators and users
of porn.
* Features essays on non-traditional issues in porn, including
celebrity sex tapes, virtual sex, S&M, homosexual porn, and
technology’s impact on the porn industry
* Features fascinating insights from psychologists, a lawyer, and
an English professor, as well as industry insiders such as Dylan
Ryder
* A fun, entertaining, and philosophically provocative approach
to pornography, written for the general reader
