Robert Jensen’s new book begins with the simple demand of the culture: “Be a man.” It closes with a defiant response: “I chose to struggle to be a human being.” And in between, it offers a candid and intelligent exploration of porn’s devastating role in helping to define conventional masculinity. In other words: In our culture, porn makes the man. Writing in his trademark conversational style with a rigorous analysis, Robert Jensen easily blends personal anecdotes from his years of media experience.
