DESCRIPTION:
He has authored two books, published in the Los Angeles Times and Playboy, and appeared on television with Anderson Cooper and Dr. Ley, PhD, is an internationally recognized expert on issues related to sexuality and mental health. Our media is filled with confusing, polarizing messages about the dangers of porn, while at the same time sexually explicit images are pronounced in advertising and entertainment. Using a natural question/answer format for people feeling fear and shame about porn use, this accessible, funny, and well-informed book is the first one to offer men a nonjudgmental way to discover how to view and use pornography responsibly.David J. Phil.
David Ley's reasonable, calm, informed writing about porn should be read by anyone interested in porn -- and it should be required reading for anyone tempted to legislate about it."Dan SavageAn important book for men of all ages, written by an expert in men's (and couples') sexualities.” Debby Herbenick, PhD, president-elect of AASECT"David Ley's voice brings much-needed nuance to some of the most important conversations occurring about pornography today.”pornhub"David Ley takes a refreshingly honest look at societal consumption of erotic media, and the resulting porn panic. You won’t find any pandering or political correctness here. He cuts through the BS, and facilitates a frank discussion of who looks at porn, why they do
"A fantastic read with great info addressing the topic without all of the panic and hysteria we usually get." according to Jay Blevins, LMFT. The short version of my review is this – it is fantastic. Stop reading this review, get a copy, and start reading it right now. Everyone.The book is an incredibly easy read. Ley writes in a casual, friendly style, as if he’s just having a conversation with you. This isn’t a book that sets out to prove its points with piles of detailed research. However, Ley easily references current research without getting bogged down in technical details. There is a list of sources in that back that you can use to delve deeply into the science or completely ignore. A fun bonus feature is the scatterin. "A Great Read for Helpers, Users, and the Porn-Curious" according to Melissa. Let me start by saying that I'm a therapist and I work with individuals and couples. The topic of porn almost always comes into the conversation, and often it's a male client feeling ashamed by his use of it. It was difficult for me to find good material that supported what I'd seen in research studies that normalized porn use among men and women, debunked beliefs that it *always* caused harm to relationships and the viewer, and painted female porn performers as traumatized and manipulated. This book addresses them all.One of the many things I liked about this book is its easy-to-consume size and layout.. easy to read Powerful, witty, easy to read, and isn't just for dicks. If you love a man, buy this book. If you are a therapist, this is a must read. Excellent resource to help reduce shame, promote sexual well being, and help guide those searching for sexual authenticity. Although written in a non-therapeutic tone, Dr. Ley's book provides a great framework for discussing porn use with clients and with the men we love.
