Riassunto

''I was going to speak to the porn industry, both because it was made up of people who deserved to have their voices heard . . . and because no one else had the guts to.'' In Exposure: A Sociologist Explores Sex, Society, and Adult Entertainment, Chauntelle Tibbals, PhD, exposes readers to one of the most mysterious businesses and significant subcultures shaping our modern world - porn. Like it or not, adult entertainment partially shapes who we are as a society. And we as a society help shape it right back. Porn takes on our sexual desires and dreams, often in ways that we're uncomfortable with. Dr. Chauntelle takes us through her own evolution - from precocious Southern California girl to marginalized sociology PhD student to renowned adult industry expert. She shares her adventures and observations - often hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, and always enlightening - in order to give us a nuanced look at a community that's simultaneously influential and reviled, powerful and stigmatized. From the altered reality of pornographic film sets to wildly inappropriate fans at trade shows, Dr. Chauntelle has seen it all. And she will be the first person to tell you: The adult industry is nothing like you'd expect. It's a world that deals in sex and is shrouded in mystery but is ultimately no different from any other.
