Description
Gail Dines examines the impact of pornography on our society, revealing how it has become increasingly prevalent and desensitizing. The author argues that the proliferation of porn has significant public health implications, and it is no longer a matter of personal choice, but a concern that affects us all.
Today's porn is a far cry from the Playboy of yesteryear, with a new wave of entrepreneurs creating content that is more violent, sexist, and racist than ever before. Dines contends that this increased availability of porn is limiting our sexual freedom, rather than liberating it.
This book is a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the porn industry and its effects on our culture and society. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern sexuality and the ways in which our society is shaped by the media we consume.
