Emily F. Rothman examines research on pornography and public health, bringing an evidence-based perspective to debates about behavior, harm and policy.
This academic study considers the public-health questions surrounding pornography through a close examination of research rather than a single moral or political position. Emily F. Rothman discusses who uses pornography, how content has changed, and what the available evidence can and cannot tell us about its effects.
Topics include aggression, body image, problematic use, intimate relationships and pornography literacy. The book connects these debates with questions of policy and practice, offering a research-focused resource for public-health scholars and readers studying media and human behavior.
