Description

At a time when women are more vocal than ever about their lives, there’s one last taboo.



When we think about porn, we often think of men as producer and consumer and of women as the product. Many women don’t talk to each other about what they do and don’t do with porn—not really.

In a world where porn sites get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon, and X combined—and a leading porn site claims ⅓ of its users are women—it’s time we changed that.

Combining pop culture, research, and thinking from the previous thirty years, and with real-life accounts taken from one hundred women aged from 18–70, Women on Porn answers the call for an accessible, informed, and evidence-based exploration of what pornography means for women.

Eye-opening, provocative, and moving, Women on Porn navigates the polarised public debates and opens an intimate window into porn and the sexual lives of women today.
