Pornland by Gail Dines
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.Gail Dines is the chair of the American studies department at Wheelock College in Boston, where she teaches sociology and women's studies. She has spent almost two decades investigating and writing about the pornography industry. She's authored a number of pieces about pornography, women's media images, and race portrayals in popular culture. PORNLAND: How Pornography Has Hijacked Our Sexuality is her most recent book. She is a cofounder of the anti-porn culture organization Stop Porn Culture!
