| 1. |  | How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale
from HarperEntertainment
Price: $21.45
Customer Review:
I really don't see the value in this book period. First, porn stars get paid to have sex, so what makes them supposedly so sensual? If you think about the premise, to make love like a porn star means having sex as part of a business transaction. Sadly, we admire porn stars thinking they are all... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women
from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Let the reader of this review be aware that the reason I wrote it is because it was written by a former local Boston author that was also a neighbor of mine for a while and we share a lot of friends and acquaintances. I like my readers to know if I have a personal bias about a book I'm reviewing. It... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Taschen
Price: $30.39
Customer Review:
This book is well put together with beautiful pictures. The pictures are high quality and this book is really a conversation starter! The Playboy book began with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, which I have never seen before and they are beautiful. One thing that was disapointing were some of the... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $17.95
Customer Review:
This book is a very interesting and thought provoking look at teenagers and religion in todays society. I was impressed at the variety of the interviews and the responses and how very different and varied teens view spiritual topics.

| 6. |  | The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry
from HarperEntertainment
Price: $13.11
Customer Review:
This is a chronological history of porn as told by porn stars, directors, lawyers and others closely tied to the industry. At first I thought it's odd format, which is basically a series of interview comments, would be confusing and difficult. But it ended up being an enjoyable and easy book,... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Porning of America: The Rise of Porn Culture, What It Means, and Where We Go from Here
from Beacon Press
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
What an eye opening book! I knew that there was a lot of porn on the internet, but I was astonished to see just how persuasively the writers argue that it is the main influence on our culture today, shaping just about every aspect of day-to-day life. Some of the book is hard to take, but parents,... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin
from Feral House
Customer Review:
The abysmal depth of human depravity in the Weimar Republic, shown graphically in this publication, goes a long way toward explaining why many decent Germans preferred even Hitler over this seething mass of degeneration, corruption and pure filth. A lesson for the future? | 4.5 / 5.0

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Most people have a gut level opinion about pornography. Mine is the same as Pamela Paul, pornography "Damages our Lives, Our Relationships, and Our Families." I was excited to pick up a book that I hoped would offer some strong evidence toward confirming my suspicions. Disappointment ensues.more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity
from South End Press
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I found this book problematic also, but I am female, advocate feminism, and study feminist theory. I don't think the positions that critics of this book lay out as mutually exclusive (feminist v. pornography) need to be so divisive. However, it is the rhetoric of this book, and books like it... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
