And while debates and emotions around porn can run high, there is a crucial need for reliable information and rational conversation. In this book, Shira Tarrant parses the range of information that we have on the pornography industry, statistics about who actually uses porn and how often, the history of pornography, landmark legal cases, and the latest in medical research. The Pornography Industry also explains the industry basics: who works in porn, why people become performers, how much they earn, and what happens on a porn set. It further delves into important questions surrounding teenagers and porn, what the industry can do about sexist and racist pornography, and porn and violence against women. The result is an even-handed account that will enable readers to explore these provocative issues and make their own best decisions about the debates"--Back cover.
