Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality
by Gail Dines
Pornland takes an unflinching look at pornography and its effect on our lives, showing that today’s pornography 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 ever more hardcore, violent, sexist, and racist.
