About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

At a time when women are more vocal than ever about our lives, there's one last taboo. We need to talk about porn.

When we think about porn today, we still mostly think about men. Men as the producers and the consumers. Women as the product. Most women aren't talking to each other about what they do and don't do with porn - not really. And when we do talk about it, we are divided into unhelpful binaries: for or against? Liberation or coercion? Too sexual or not sexual enough? But in a world where porn sites get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon plus Twitter combined, and one of the leading sites claims a third of its users are women, isn't it time to change that?

In this book, interviews with 100 women result in an extraordinary and powerful conversation on pornography. How they first encountered it. How they consume it. How it has affected their sex lives. What they like and what they don't. And what it means for their relationships.

Eye-opening, provocative and deeply moving, this book navigates the polarised public debates, to open an intimate window into porn and the sexual lives of women today.

This was a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of hiw women interact with porn. The many perspectives kept the narrative fresh and the narration is excellent. I highly recommend.

Well worth a listen

I have always struggled with relationships and understanding of Porn to women. I could write about this for a while as a writer. The stories and informative narration from the Dr was amazing. Very engaging but allows my perspective as a black cis male to be more open minded and more knowledgeable on topic. This is a read for everyone of all generations.

A Male reading a great Insight

Fantastic book so informative. Gray explores the nuances of porn through an informed lens with heartfelt and soulful interviews and insights. A brilliant read and one everyone should pick up at some point

Amazing

it was OK. bit virtue signalling at times, self-consciously so. could have asked more probing questions and gone deeper. could have spoken more to the women who work in porn or women who make porn. I dunno, I was left a bit bored by this book. just plodded on and had a lot of 'women are victims' rhetoric which felt like a bias. Reads like a dissertation or PhD thesis. not really worth reading imo.

ok, wouldn't really recommend
