“Pornography exists everywhere, of course, but when it comes into societies in which it’s difficult for young men and women to get together and do what young men and women often like doing, it satisfies a more general need; and, while doing so, it sometimes becomes a kind of standard-bearer for freedom, even for civilization.”
The East is Blue -- Salman Rushdie


“Doubtless, sex tales were told about the Neanderthal campfire and perhaps instructive positions drawn on cave walls. Meanwhile, the human race was busy establishing such exciting institutions as slavery and ifs first cousin, marriage.”
From the Introduction -- Gore Vidal

Porn consists not merely of sex, but of what surrounds it. . . Porn is not the exception to photography’s rule. Porn is the ceiling toward which all photographs asymptotically climb.”
