Have just begun two books on pornography: Pamela Paul's Pornified and Ben Shapiro's Porn Generation.
Paul's is a well-researched, journalistic, thoughtful examination of pornography and its cultural affects.
Shapiro's is a, well, mostly the opposite. A personal essay that tries to hide as a thoughtful examination. It really is nothing of the sort.
Interesting, I've learned more from Shapiro's than Paul's (although Paul's is much more interesting factually). Not about Pornography, but rather why some people are so mindlessly reactionary about porn. Mindless, stupidly, idiotically reactionary.
Know your enemy, so to speak.
