I liked several of the papers, such as Woollard's Cheating withJenna, which draws useful distinctions between cheating on one'spartner and getting sexual enjoyment from porn, which makes aworthwhile point, and Roger Pipe's Something for Everyone, whichprovides a useful history of porn. Both of these articles, asmany others in the book, could be useful in an undergraduatecourse. ( Metapsychology, February 2011)
