The unprecedented mainstreaming of the global pornography industry is transforming the sexual politics of intimate and public life, popularizing new forms of hardcore misogyny, and strongly contributing to the sexualization of children. Yet, challenges to the industry continue to be dismissed as uncool, antisex, and moral panic. Unmasking the lies behind the selling of porn as entertainment, this book reveals the shocking truths of an industry that trades in violence, crime, and degradation while discussing topics such as racism in gay male porn, the use of animals in porn, child pornography, and BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism). Fearless and controversial, this examination will challenge the current view of pornography.

This powerful and humane book is a breakthrough. Like Rachel Carsons Silent Spring which launched the environmental movement, Big Porn Inc shows us we are poisoning our own spirits, and that an ugly misuse of thousands of women and very young children is the dark and criminal underside of this industry. I hope this is the point where we turn away from pornography from using it, from condoning it, from allowing it.
STEVE BIDDULPH, AUTHOR OF THE NEW MANHOOD AND THE SECRET OF HAPPY CHILDREN
At a time when so many celebrities, academics and free speech fundamentalists are siding with the sex industry to deny that pornography is violence against women, Big Porn Inc is the voice of reality a strong indictment; an epic work.
JANICE G. RAYMOND, PROFESSOR EMERITA OF WOMENS STUDIES AND MEDICAL ETHICS; PAST CO-DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL COALITION AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN WOMEN (CATW)
Big Porn Inc is a first-rate book: comprehensive and thoroughly researched. Porn does not liberate sexuality. What is it that men enjoy in porn: humiliation, degradation, control, sexual violence, submission ? Fortunately, this anthology considers the possibilities of resistance and offers hope for transformative futures.
RICHARD POULIN, PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA AND AUTHOR OF SEXUALISATION PRCOCE ET PORNOGRAPHIE AND PORNOGRAPHIE ET HYPERSEXUALISATION: ENFANCES DVASTES
If you care about social justice, buy this book. Big Porn Inc is a must read for anyone interested in the human rights of women and children. The book is cogent and alarming, yet hopeful that together we can create a world where women and children are not hurt and degraded. Big Porn Inc is a much needed blueprint for ending the global porn industry.
CHRISTINE STARK, AUTHOR OF NICKELS AND CO-EDITOR OF NOT FOR SALE
When anthropologists from Planet Upsilon report on how civilization failed, Big Porn Inc will probably be Exhibit One. I thank the authors for the courage it took to wade through this material and put together this awesome book that drags us kicking and screaming to what so many do not want to know about corporate sex. Big Porn Inc may be our last chance to grasp porn ideology before it slips in and becomes the very fabric of our lives.
MARTIN DUFRESNE, ANTI-SEXISM ACTIVIST, CANADA
Global media have infused the culture with sexually objectified and commodified women and girls, mainstreaming pornography with ever-increasing harms to females everywhere. Big Porn Inc is a clarion call to action against this gross violation of womens human rights. Brilliant, insightful, essential.
KATHLEEN SLOAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN (NOW) USA; CONVENOR, UN PANELS ON THE MEDIAS SEXUAL COMMODIFICATION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS
Woman or man, ignore this book at your peril. A remarkable international collection of insightful essays on the growing, poisonous role Big Porn plays in global culture, economics, mores, and violence against women and children. Brava to Spinifex Press for publishing this gift to thoughtful readers.
ROBIN MORGAN, AUTHOR AND ACTIVIST
Big Food, Big Oil, Big Pharma and, yes, Big Porn global corporate giants that shape and exploit human needs and desires, profiting while furthering injustice and denying toxic effects. Big Porn Inc is a hugely necessary, radical and rousing work, full of big thoughts and big truths about the all-consuming pornographic worldview.
JANE CAPUTI, CREATOR OF DVD THE PORNOGRAPHY OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Many people, for all sorts of reasons, have preferred to avoid thinking about the porn industry and its manifold negative impacts. The invasion of Big Porn throughout mainstream culture makes moving beyond such denial long overdue. Big Porn Inc offers clear and topical chapters from a range of thinkers who are uniquely well-equipped to explain why. This is a profoundly important book.
EMMA RUSH, LEAD AUTHOR CORPORATE PAEDOPHILIA: SEXUALISATION OF CHILDREN IN AUSTRALIA; LECTURER IN ETHICS, CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY
In Big Porn Inc feminists lay down the gauntlet to pornographers by exposing the hate and harm of their man-dated sexuality which has become normative behavior. Big Porn Inc not only contests pornographic harm and hate. It will, I predict, incite a new bold wave of global activism in which we reclaim our future.
KATHLEEN BARRY, AUTHOR OF FEMALE SEXUAL SLAVERY, PROSTITUTION OF SEXUALITY, AND UNMAKING WAR, REMAKING MEN
Big Porn Inc represents a powerful and growing reaction against the influence of the porn merchants and societys willingness to let them get away with one outrage after another. The book unleashes a cascade of emotions shock, disgust, guilt, rage, and heart-felt admiration for the victims of the porn industry A landmark publication sure to help open the eyes of the public to the modern scourge of porn and amplify the call for greater decency and respect. Because without them, there can be no true liberation.
CLIVE HAMILTON, PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC ETHICS AT CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY
Big Porn Inc is a brilliant expos on how the porn industry has sold us big fat lies about sex and sexuality. No previous generation has had to navigate such a flood of porn inspired imagery and concepts. Essential reading for everyone, especially the deluded defenders who remain willfully blind to the harmful impacts. I hope Big Porn Inc helps to create the seismic shift humanity needs.
JULIE GALE, ACTIVIST AND FOUNDER OF KIDS FREE 2B KIDS
Big Porn Inc is a courageous book, brilliantly undertaken. Based on impressive research and experience, the collection provides a disturbingly convincing portrayal of the multi-billion dollar global pornography industry. The pornography industrys assault on women, girls and our culture is real. This is the book we need to understand how and why and the means by which it can be halted.
