A provocative book, sure to stir debate and reflection." - Alissa Quart, author ofBranded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers "A sharp rebuke to porn's glamorization."-Los Angeles TimesBook Review "An alarming, thought-provoking overview of today's cyber-sexual society." -The Seattle Times "Pamela Paul sets out to scare readers about the effects of pornography on American society, and she succeeds mightily."-St. That doesn't mean it needs to be banned it does mean we need to think about what it's doing to each of us, and to our shared society."-Bill McKibben, author ofThe End of NatureandEnough "Pornifiedis rife with the tales of Americans experiencing a new level of sexual pathos, filled with snapshots of surreptitious lives: it is as compelling as it is troubling. It helps everyone-from libertarian to moralist-by offering a common ground from which to proceed: pornography is one more alienating product of a consumer culture, and in some ways a particularly lonely one. It is a poison eroding relationships between men and women and darkening our children's horizons."-Judith Warner, author ofPerfect Madness "This is a quietly forceful book. As Paul makes clear, porn is not 'cool,' or 'liberating,' or basically benign. Her book should be a wake-up call for parents and should change the way we view-and rationalize viewing-pornography today. A provocative book, sure to stir debate and reflection."-Margaret Talbot, senior fellow, New American Foundation, and staff writer,The New Yorker "Pamela Paul convincingly and sometimes shockingly details the effects on men, women, and children living in a 'pornified' world.
