Not very insightful look at pornography that is at least amusing and easy to read.
By separating good from bad porn the author manages to sort the wheat from the chaff and dispel the myths that porn causes rape, child abuse and porn addiction. By doing so she can imply that because most Hollywood films, for example, are bad, that does not mean that Hollywood – as such - is. Similarly, because most porn is bad does not mean porn - as such - is bad. She thus also manages to engage with pornography rationally as a vehicle for the understanding and exploration of women's sexuality, generally, that the suppression of porn attempted to elide, culturally. This benefits both sexes as it holds out the promise of greater and more mutual carnal satisfaction.
The real downside here is that the book was obviously written too quickly and contains many factual errors - only some of which are corrected by the translator.
