This review is from: True Porn (Paperback)
My friend loaned me this book and I haven't returned it, it's sitting next to my fave chair. . . that's how good it is. I am fixing to buy me a copy of it and the vol 2 as well. Definetely not for people looking for a quick fix/ stroke book. Most of these stories really challenge the preconcieved notions of "porn." Truly awesome in its intelligent, broad look at one of mankind's most primary and fundamental, yet unexplicably (in mainstream US at least) "don't ask, don't tell" activities.
The reason I don't give it 5 stars is because True Porn is not really a good title for it. Erotica is more faithful to the aim and content of the book. It could have been called Everyday Erotica or something. The meaning of the word pornography according to Oxford's is "printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." Now, the word pornography is etymologically traced to the greek pornographos, (which means to write about prostitutes: porne, prostitute and graphein, to write) this title just hints at something dirty, which is something sex is not. Nor is the book an excuse to merely "stimulate erotic feelings" but rather to stimulate aesthetic, emotional AND erotic feelings. I wish people would just stop being ashamed about or misunderstanding this most wonderful activity.
