I happened to be searching for some new books and came across one that was perfect for this class. It is called Pornified by author Pamela Paul. In brief, she writes about how the technological advancements and a shift into an electronically driven era have allowed porn to become easily accessed. She discusses the new porn culture and how it affects our daily lives.
Paul uses research, narratives, and interviews which explains how men, women, and children are affected by the porn saturation on the internet. She also discusses how children are being affected by early exposure to mature viewing and pornography. Paul acknowledges that since the internet provides anonymity that porn use on the internet has been on the rise steadily.
Finally, Pornified shows why it's important for all Americans – those who look at pornography and those who do not – to understand how porn has changed the world we live in and how to understand it.
