Pornocopia Summary

Pornocopia: Porn, Sex, Technology and Desire by Laurence O'Toole

Argues that new technologies are allowing pornography to emerge from the shadows as an acceptable form of popular entertainment. A mix of reportage, interviews and critical analysis, the text takes the reader from a hardcore screening in a trendy West Hollywood multiplex to a hole-in-wall vendor in London's East End; from an English courtroom scene to an adult film production unit in Los Angeles. "Pornocopia" features interviews with leading porn producers as well as leading porn actresses. It attempts to include the views of the women who make and use pornography. It traces the history of the industry and also of a film genre - from "Deep Throat" and "The Devil in Miss Jones" to late-90s porn glamour movies like "Latex".
