The Porn Studies Journal Is a Real Thing ? And I Read It
Want your academic journal to get some attention? Just make it free and about porn to bring in the ever-desirable ?free porn? readership. Case in point: Porn Studies, the academic quarterly that published its inaugural issue today.
I read through the issue and, for better or for worse, anyone looking for titillation is likely to be disappointed. (Unless what turns you on is sociological analysis, in which case ? it?s your lucky day.) Despite the tantalizing nature of its title, it?s dense albeit fascinating academic content, with articles like ?People?s pornography: sex and surveillance on the Chinese internet? and ?Finding gender through porn performance.?
