Porn - Philosophy for Everyone - How to Think With Kink. Forew. by Gram Ponante

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

Report

"I liked several of the papers, such as Woollard s "Cheating withJenna," which draws useful distinctions between cheating on one spartner and getting sexual enjoyment from porn, which makes aworthwhile point, and Roger Pipe s "Something for Everyone," whichprovides a useful history of porn. Both of these articles, asmany others in the book, could be useful in an undergraduatecourse." ( Metapsychology , February 2011)
