Porn - Philosophy for Everyone Summary

Porn - Philosophy for Everyone: How to Think With Kink by Fritz Allhoff

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

Porn - Philosophy for Everyone Reviews

"I liked several of the papers, such as Woollard's "Cheating with Jenna," which draws useful distinctions between cheating on one's partner and getting sexual enjoyment from porn, which makes a worthwhile point, and Roger Pipe's "Something for Everyone," which provides a useful history of porn. Both of these articles, as many others in the book, could be useful in an undergraduate course." ( Metapsychology, February 2011)
