Sex in the age of digital desire

Fiona Vera-Gray has spent years speaking with women about pornography.

She has used over 100 accounts to explore the way that women engage with porn.

The majority of easily available porn is not the tasteful feminist material made by the likes of Swedish film-maker Erika Lust it’s habitually misogynist.

A quarter of 16- to 21-year-olds first saw porn on the internet while still at primary school.

Fiona Vera-Gray’s lack of judgement shines from her prose and from her interview subjects.

The book contains many unspeakably bleak accounts, too, of women in abusive relationships whose partners seem to be addicted to porn.
