Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality

Gail Dines

3.94/5 (1599 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Expert Gail Dines has been writing about and researching the porn industry for over two decades. She attends porn industry conferences, interviews porn producers and performers, and speaks to hundreds of young people each year about their experience with porn. Astonishingly, the average age of the first downloading of porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and studies reveal that young men are consuming more of it than ever before.

In this groundbreaking book, Dines illustrates how today’s porn has become absorbed into pop culture and, because of that, how the porn industry has turned even more hard-core, creating profitable niche markets—like "teen sex" and "torture porn"—in its quest to entice a generation of desensitized users. She shows both the sexist and racist underbelly of porn, exposing the economic structure of this multibillion-dollar industry—one that reaps more profits than the film and music industries combined.

Going from the backstreets to Wall Street, Dines reveals how porn is affecting our lives and why its omnipresence is detrimental to our sexual freedom.
