As a student of human sexuality, this book is full of incredible information and testimony on the social aspects of pornography. If you are looking for a book OF pornography, look elsewhere - this is a book of academic discussion and articles on pornography's role in society, which might be boring for most laypeople. A definite must-have for any scholar on human sexuality!
