Reviews

“In this much-needed book, Keene demonstrates the individual and relationship impact of pornography depicting rough and aggressive sex. Without stigmatising or berating, she skilfully illuminates the difficult spaces between pleasure and harm, representation and action. Keene supports positive, consensual sex and outlines action to reduce unwanted aggression and hurt within sexual encounters. Strongly recommended for everyone interested in gender, contemporary culture and sex research.” Dr Natasha Mulvihill, Associate Professor in Criminology, University of Bristol, UK “Thoughtful, honest, and deeply necessary. Keene is unafraid to examine the complicated and sometimes contradictory place that porn occupies in our lives.” Dr Fiona Vera-Gray, Deputy Director, Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit, London Metropolitan University
