Your Call 102307 Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity

How does pornography affect what it means to be a man? On the next Your Call, we'll have a discussion about the multibillion dollar porn industry with Robert Jensen, author of Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity. Jensen says mainstream porn has come up with more ways than ever to humiliate and degrade women. So why is it so popular? Over 260 porn sites go up daily. Has pornography become normalized? How does it affect you? It's Your Call with me, Rose Aguilar and you.
