Written by Dr. Marty Klein, a Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than three decades' experience, this fascinating book contests the common belief that pornography is unilaterally harmful to individuals and our society, addresses common concerns and debunks widely believed myths, and explains how to heal America's obsession with porn by engaging in honest talk about sex.

• Provides the only book to discuss and resolve conflicts about pornography without demonizing porn or porn users

• Confronts a common source of conflict in marriage and anxiety in parenting―and presents innovative, practical ways to resolve these problems using down-to-earth language

• Shows why there's no such thing as "porn addiction," explains why it really matters what we call it, exposes the billion-dollar industry behind this failed concept, and offers real insight and hope for people concerned about their involvement with pornography

• Shows how new technologies are always adapted for sexual purposes―making the Internet's application to pornography a technology issue as much as a sexual issue

• Identifies―and corrects―the most common myths and junk science about pornography

• Describes the politics through which progressive feminists and the Religious Right have wound up in bed together opposing pornography―by re-branding porn from an immorality problem to a public health crisis

• Explains how America's lack of real sex education and frank talk from adults leaves young people looking at porn for sex information―and what they're actually learning from it

• Relieves parental anxiety with easy-to-follow advice on talking with kids about porn, including conversations about youth "sexting"

• Appeals to general readers: educators, psychologists, clergy, and social workers; and policymakers, scholars, students, and researchers in psychology, law, public policy, communications, and media studies
