About The Book

You think you know what porn is. You have no idea.
'Fizzes with righteous rage' The Times

'Couldn’t be more important... Urgent, bold and unflinching.' Laura Bates, author of Everyday Sexism

Never more than a click away, porn is virtually inescapable. With minimal moderation, mainstream platforms don’t just host it, they push ever more extreme content into view, whether you want it or not.

The consequences are profound. Our most intimate relationships are being manipulated, our desires exploited. An entire generation is learning about sex not from experience or trust but from Pornhub, where fantasies are constructed by degrading, misogynistic and racist ideals that eroticise masculine dominance and normalise sexual violence. Meanwhile, non-consensual porn is destroying women’s lives, a threat now supercharged by deepfakes and AI.

We’re told we live in an age of sexual freedom, but this isn’t true. We are fighting not only for autonomy over our bodies and desires, but for gender equality itself. To move forward means confronting and dismantling both the patriarchy and the porn industry that sustains it.

'Read this book – then encourage your partner to read it too.' Glamour

'In the current moment, as Grok and smart glasses enable mass abuse on a scale never seen before and schoolchildren virtually undress their female peers at the click of a button, this book couldn’t be more important... This is an urgent, bold and unflinching book. Everyone should read it, especially men.' —Laura Bates, author of Everyday Sexism
