Pornology Noun1 A Good Girl's Guide to Porn 2 The misadventures of the world's first anthroPORNologist 3 A Hilarious Exploration of Men Relationships and Sex Author:Ayn Carrillo-Gailey When Ayn Carrillo-Gailey confronted her boyfriend about his porn habit, he pronounced her "pornophobic." Determined to prove she wasn't phobic, simply more enlightened, Ayn set out to learn all she could about this phenomenon. Like any good researcher, she added her new quest to her daily To-Do list: 1.

Acting as an amateur anthropologist introduced Ayn to a world populated by everyday people. Her quest aroused the curiosity of her female friends: her knitting group quickly turned into informal information sessions, as the women—single or married, involved or not—were desperate for information. What does XXX mean vs. un-rated?
What's the difference between topless dancers and strip clubs?
Why is some of it actually not that stimulating? And why are men obsessed with it?
Along the way, Ayn ditched the porn-obsessed boyfriend, and learned that one should not try to make change from a stripper's G-string tips, nor is the Hustler store the best place to make a first impression on a hot guy. Pornology is the result of one woman's quest to pierce the veil that modestly covers something many women actually want to know about. Suprising, hilarious, informative, and ultimately non-judgmental, this narrative is one readers won't put down—once they admit they're curious enough to pick it up!« less

This is a laugh-out-loud funny book. Although it is non-fiction, it reads like a fiction book -- chick lit. It is somewhat difficult to believe that the author did not embellish the facts just a smidge, but based on the acknowledgements and "about the author" sections, it seems that it is all true. Great book -- highly recommended.

I absolutely loved this book. I read this my freshman year of college. I had found it on a trip to Urban Outfitters and thought it would be an interesting read. It was not at all what I expected, but that is not a bad thing. I had always been somewhat of a "prude" as my friends called me, and this book helped me to slowly explore a more sexual world.
The book follows a young woman on her journey of exploring not only porn, but a who sexual world. There were moments that I felt a strong connection to the narrator, and I would recommend this book to any woman, and even some men. This book is definitely a must read!

Wither you are just starting to explore the world of porn and sex, or you are a pro, this book is full of all sorts of information, and follows the journey of the Author through her first experiences.
When Ayn is accused of being a "porn-a-phobic" she sets out to learn what she can about it, and about herself. Along the way, she learns that a relationship is not just about the man getting pleasure, and that pron is not just for men. Everything from watching movies, to visiting a Brothel in Vegas changes not only the way Ayn looks at porn, but how she looks at life.
I would suggest this book to anybody interested in this subject, even at just a mild curiosity.
