Features essays on non-traditional issues in porn, including celebrity sex tapes, virtual sex, S&M, homosexual porn, and technology’s impact on the porn industry Features fascinating insights from psychologists, a lawyer, and an English professor, as well as industry insiders such as Dylan Ryder A fun, entertaining, and philosophically provocative approach to pornography, written for the general reader

Reviews for Porn - Philosophy for Everyone: How to Think With Kink

I liked several of the papers, such as Woollard's Cheating with Jenna, which draws useful distinctions between cheating on one's partner and getting sexual enjoyment from porn, which makes a worthwhile point, and Roger Pipe's Something for Everyone, which provides a useful history of porn. Both of these articles, as many others in the book, could be useful in an undergraduate course. ( Metapsychology, February 2011)
