Ethical issues: pornography & obscenity

Sarracino and Scott argue that we no longer have to purchase pornography to get porn because we increasingly live porn in our daily lives. Resolutely pro-sex, they contend that, to make the most of our hard-won sexual freedom, we must thoughtfully-and honestly-evaluate what is both liberating and damaging about porn.

Reviews for The Porning of America: The Rise of Porn Culture, What It Means, and Where We Go from Here

Written with an expansive grasp of the highlights of pornographic history and a mastery of narrative argument ... a fascinating view of the changing popular culture surrounding American life. --J. Edward Sumerau, Metro Spirit [Not] a finger-waving anti-porn diatribe ... [the authors approach] the material with a particularly clearheaded sociological gaze. --Jer Fairall, PopMatters I'm thrilled with this book. . . . Comprehensive and thought-provoking, this is a must-read if you want to understand porn and our culture. --Al Goldstein, founder and former publisher of Screw magazine Whether it's the sexualization of girls, a pimp lifestyle, or Abu Ghraib, there's no dismissing the influence of pornography on our sensibilities, desires, and fantasies. . . . [A] brave, nuanced book that tells a story we don't want to know but can't, for the life of us, ignore. --Lyn Mikel Brown, coauthor of Packaging Girlhood
