Porn - Philosophy for Everyone: How to Think With Kink

Synopsis

Love it or loathe it, pornography is as old as human civilization itself. Ancient humans were drawing porn on their cave walls long before it flourished under the Greeks and Romans. With the age of the internet, it has now reached epic proportions. 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 bestthe creators and users of porn. Together, they address issues such as: Is a porn actors life worse-off by virtue of his or her profession? Why are men more willing to accept the authenticity of porn-gasms? What is the voyeuristic appeal of watching celebrity sex tapes? And, what is wrong with pornography? Entertaining and scholarly, Porn - Philosophy for Everyone offers a titillating, tantalizing glimpse into the world of porn.
