Pornography and popular culture

Gail Dines examines how internet access and the incorporation of pornography into popular culture have changed the landscape she describes. The book focuses on the porn industry’s production of increasingly explicit material and considers its representations of gender and race. Dines argues that widespread exposure can shape sexual attitudes and restrict sexual freedom, framing pornography as a public health concern. The discussion places pornography within broader questions about media, sexuality, and cultural influence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in sociological perspectives on pornography and media culture.
  • Readers exploring debates about sexuality, gender, race, and public health.

Book overview

Astonishingly, the average age of first viewing porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and with the advent of the Internet, it's no surprise that young people are consuming more porn than ever. And, as Gail Dines shows, today's porn is strikingly different from yesterday's Playboy. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is even more hard-core, violent, sexist, and racist. Proving that porn desensitizes and actually limits our sexual freedom, Dines argues its omnipresence is a public health concern we can no longer ignore.
