  In Pornocopia , Laurence O'Toole finds the expansion of the new technologies of video, cable and the internet is allowing porn to emerge from the shadows as an acceptable form of popular entertainment - out of the red light district and into the sitting room. This new edition considers the increasing sexualization of mainstream culture and contrasts the growing acceptability of porn in the USA with the censorious New Labour era in Britain. Including numerous interviews with porn figures like Paul Thomas, John Buttman Stagliano, Juli Ashton, and Chasey Lain, porn activists and the police, Pornocopia also considers the role of the porn viewer, including cyberlovers sharing their intimate porn moments with the reader.
