Review: "There is a new wave of pornographic entertainment in contemporary American culture; liberated from X-rated bookstores and strip clubs, porn is everywhere. Pop-Porn seeks to examine this phenomenon in some of its most striking manifestations. Written from a variety of perspectives and on a variety of topics representing the widespread increase of soft-core porn in our culture, Pop-Porn offers a detailed and complex approach to the porn industry in America." "Rather than focusing on the current polarity of basic pro and con views on this topic - a polarity that ultimately hinders discussion - these essays show that pornographic content is subtly and profoundly embedded in our culture fabric."--Jacket.
