Pornography, also known as sexually explicit material intended to
cause sexual arousal, has been hailed by many as a growing public
health crisis. Multiple states have now passed resolutions
declaring pornography a harm to individual and collective health
for inciting epidemics of sexual assault, human trafficking, and
compulsive use. But research on the impact of pornography reveals a
complicated story behind the straightforward narrative of abuse,
including the repression of sex positive materials in the pursuit
of pornographic containment. Pornography and Public Health uses a
rigorous evidence-based approach to explore the positive and
negative effects of pornography on public health, revealing how
pornography came to be considered a public health crisis despite
the lack of US governmental support. While pornographic content
varies widely, this book provides a holistic overview of the people
who view pornography, what they are most likely to see, how content
has changed over time, and how these changes appear to influence
some users. Each chapter explores controversies related to
important subtopics in pornography scholarship including
aggression, body image, and problematic use, as well as
acknowledging the benefits that porn and porn literacy can provide
in some contexts. Drawing on meticulous research and close readings
of the available data, Emily F. Rothman explores the implications
of existing evidence for practice and policy and offers meaningful
guidance for public health scholars interested in understanding,
and resolving, one of the most complicated issues in health and
human behavior of our time. With unique academic insights,
Pornography and Public Health avoids moralizing to argue that we
can take steps to minimize possible harms from pornography while
simultaneously protecting sexual liberty and promoting respect for
pornography performers.
