In our culture, porn makes the man. So argues Robert Jensen in Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity. Jensens treatise begins with a simple demand: Be a man. It ends with a defiant response: I chose to struggle to be a human being. The journey from masculinity to humanity is found in the candid and intelligent exploration of porns devastating role in defining masculinity.Getting Off seamlessly blends personal anecdotes from Jensens years as a feminist antipornography activist with scholarly research. In his trademark conversational style, he shows how mainstream pornography reinforces social definitions of manhood and influences mens attitudes about women and how to treat them.Pornography is a thriving multibilliondollar industry; it drives the direction of emerging media technology. Pornography also makes for complicated politics. These days, antiporn arguments are assumed to be antisex and thus a critical debate is silenced. This book breaks that silence. Alarming and thoughtprovoking, Getting Off asks tough, but crucial, questions about pornography, sex, manhood, and the way toward genuine social justice.Robert Jensen is an associate professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege and Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity.
