This was a very interesting book. Although I disagreed with the author in categorizing ALL porn/erotica as bad for women and the men who generally consume it, in looking at the types of extreme images that are now commonplace on the internet today, she does make some thought-provoking points. Particularly interesting are her examinations of how porn depicts interracial relationships and reinforces negative racial stereotypes, and the correlations she makes between porn depicting "barely legal" type teens with child pornography.
There is no mention of women who enjoy erotic books or movies for their own enjoyment. When she discusses couples who incorporate porn into their relationship, the outcome is always negative (the women felt coerced into behaviors they were uncomfortable with, etc.) The lack of balance is the reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5. Nonetheless, she does bring to light some legitimate problems with the types of porn consumed by me and now boys at a startlingly early age.
Warning: The language of this book is VERY graphic. Some of the depictions of acts the author has witnessed in porn will make your stomach churn.
