Porn in the Age of Instant Access:
What are the social effects of fast, cheap & stigma-free viewing?

Moderator: Brooke Gladstone, NPR's On The Media

The Internet and digital cable have allowed the purchasing and viewing of pornography to become easier than ever. While porn consumers can now easily keep their interests private, the porn producers has become more public and corporate. The U.S. porn industry now generates $12 billion annually: more than the combined revenues of the major television networks. What are the culture effects of this mainstreaming? Can and should there be a political response to these trends?
