A relevant book that made some very good points albeit heavy-handed and lopsided. In the end, it became redundant and the porn watchers who provided negative anecdotes seemed flawed. If a doctor or psychologist did further investigation into their backgrounds, it might be revealed that porn didn't cause their problems but made it worse. I would even go as far to add that porn is a symptom not the cause of America's problems with sex, sexuality, and sexualization in the media.

In "Pornified: How Pornography Is Transforming Our Lives, Our Relationships, and Our Families," Pamela Paul, a journalist and the author of "The Starter Marriage and the Future of Matrimony," denounces this sea change, lamenting that we've become inured to porn's negative effects on American men, women and children. Her biggest gripe is with the Internet pornography boom of the past decade, which she believes is creating sex addicts and splintering families. Unfortunately, though it has surely affected many people, Paul fails to prove a national trend, turning what might have been a provocative study into a diatribe. Esta contestado enDistinciones
"Strips porn of its culture-war claptrap . . .Pornified may stand as a Kinsey Report for our time."--San Francisco Chronicle Porn in America is everywhere--not just in cybersex and Playboy but in popular video games, advice columns, and reality television shows, and on the bestseller lists. Even more striking, as porn has become affordable, accessible, and anonymous, it has become increasingly acceptable--and a big part of the personal lives of many men and women. In this controversial and critically acclaimed book, Pamela Paul argues that as porn becomes more pervasive, it is destroying our marriages and families as well as distorting our children's ideas of sex and sexuality. Based on more than one hundred interviews and a nationally representative poll,Pornified exposes how porn has infiltrated our lives, from the wife agonizing over the late-night hours her husband spends on porn Web sites to the parents stunned to learn their twelve-year-old son has seen a hardcore porn film. Pornified is an insightful, shocking, and important investigation into the costs and consequences of pornography for our families and our culture. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
