Synopsis
Lynsey G. never imagined that she would ever work in porn, but with a degree in English literature and an empty bank account, the twenty-four-year-old was desperate to launch her writing career in New York City. So when her friend put her up for a unique opportunity--screening and reviewing pornos for an adult entertainment magazine--she jumped at the prospect. One review later and it was official: She was a porn journalist.
Over time, what was supposed to be a temporary gig transformed into nearly a decade of reportage on the various aspects of the adult entertainment industry. As she delved deeper into the prolific and controversial world of porn, even co-founding WHACK Magazine to further examine the many subtleties of the industry, Lynsey learned that one of the most diverse and nebulous--and profitable--industries on the planet isn't quite as different from the rest of the world as she thought.
Tantalizing, eye-opening, and witty, Watching Porn is a pro-vocative book about an average girl's foray into the porn in-dustry and the people who make it what it is, both in front of and behind the camera. Watching Porn is a wildly entertaining and surprisingly relatable memoir that will spark conversation about the intersectionality of pornography, sex, relationships, consumerism, and what it means to be a feminist today.
