Travels in Pornland Review

    Comparing with the essay " Cost of Living", I preferred reading the essay "Travels in Pornland" because this topic attracted me a lot and gave me to think  a lot. In the essay "Travels in Pornland", the author Andrea Stuart examined the subculture about porn through her own experience. When she was child, she was confused about sex or porn, and she thought those were mysteries belonging to the adult world. As she got older, her attitude toward sex changed. She became interest in it and wanted to know more about this subculture through interviewing with other people. 
     Besides that, the essay reflected a new style of feminism. Sex-positive feminists thought that porn was an opportunity for sexual self-expression and it helped more woman to have an independent income and gained a powerful political discourse to enhance their social statues, which was the authority about this subculture.                                                                                                                      After finishing this essay, I wonder that whether people develop porn industry can really benefit feminist? In my opinion, porn industry just brings to great fortune to unscrupulous final winner. What's worse, it will do more harm to people and the whole society and  obey the ethics.
