Here's the link to MaggieH's page with a list of antiporn books: https://againstpornography.org/books.html
I haven't read most of those, but Maggie probably has. I have read Robert Jensen's Getting Off: Pornorgaphy and the End of Masculinity and Against Pornography by Diana Russell and I recommend both.

Yeah, I have. They're great books. Go for these, Ariel! Take your pick! Thanks Bluecoat28 for posting the link to my (pro-)feminist booklist.

Also makes me think I forgot to include Catharine MacKinnon's Feminism Unmodified and Toward a Feminist Theory of the State in that list (as I hadn't read those 2 yet at the time I put up that booklist), but I'll add them both on sooner or later -- even though I know it's already a huge list (!) -- tell me about it...

I haven't read Making Sex Work by Mary Lucille Sullivan yet. But I'm thinking about ordering it and including it in my list sometime -- coz it seems to be a great book against the legalization of prostitution!

i have a list at oneangrygirl.net/antiporn.html which i can't view at work due to firewall.
if your friend is academically inclined i would suggest Melissa Farley's "Prostitution, Trafficking, and Traumatic Stress" or ZIllman and Bryant's "Something Scholarly Whose Title I Forget"

Yeah, these 2 are also on my booklist... I remember long before I'd created my website, the very first antiporn booklist I had read was the one that was on OAG's brilliant website.

Prostitution, Trafficking, and Traumatic Stress is such a great book, BTW!

Thanks, Ariel. I've just ordered it today. I hope my booklist helps you then...

Transforming a Rape Culture has some articles on porn, and is a good read regardless.
