To put it another way, Tibbals points out that porn fights an unending battle against preconceived notions. Aren’t all porn girls and the business they represent just an extension of “what may stir fear or revulsion in one person may be the hottest thing ever to the next?” The author weaves a story of the all too often simplistic answer to that question. Using a personal example, she recounts dealing with her grad school adviser who swore to revulsion and discounted everything else, sidetracking Tibballs' research.
Dr. Tibbals presents her argument in an easy-to-read format with personal accounts that will seduce the most casual reader. Don’t be fooled by the writer's scholarly cap; Exposure is an extension of the author’s affable personality. Her approachable writing style sets aside academic syntax and complex explanations to bring everyone on board with her message.
Taking the reader to the industry’s major trade show in Las Vegas and to film sets in Porn Valley, Tibbals becomes a tour guide for a little-understood universe that can’t escape the myths that swirl about it. She comments on one of her creepiest volunteer tasks at the convention: keeping the "super fans" at bay during the signing times girls are obliged to fulfill. These fans “sincerely believed they knew their favorite performer, and one day she would be theirs, no matter what.” Tibbals ventures into the tough job men have performing on camera. It’s mental and failure gets around fast. One guy takes a reduced paycheck for his shortcoming and the author describes how everyone covers for him so the shoot can wrap up.
In discussing the cultural significance of porn, Tibballs devotes time to “pegging,” queer porn, and “Trannies” as an adult film genre. What’s more, there is something in the pages of Exposure for everybody be it on the business side of the industry (product piracy is huge . . . and where does the film music come from?) to the feminist interpretation of adult content. Traditional anti-porn feminism is referenced specifically looking at the government’s war on porn in the 1980s. Not to be missed is Tibbals discussion of Linda Lovelace and Traci Lords who became emblematic of porn as evil, though the stories (read: honesty) of both are suspect. Having said that, what enlivens Tibballs is her ability to look at both side of an issue. In this case, she supports Lovelace and Lords as self-assertive.
Best of all, Exposure is a personal Odyssey beginning with the author's graduate school through her current position as a writer, online host, and overall industry maven. That alone is worth the purchase price of Exposure.
The book begins by showing how even associating yourself with the porn industry could be met with prejudice. The first of many struggles Dr Tibbals would have to face was choosing the direction of porn for her dissertation. People she truly respected would lose all sense of logic when the subject of adult entertainment was brought up. This intrigued Dr. Tibbals because, as she put it, "I could scramble the smartest, most educated of brains. And that was it for me. I was hooked---porn for life."
Throughout the book Dr Tibbals takes us through her porn journey. From her first time seeing pornography, to her first time in a sex store, this book gives you a hilarious, and educated, view of a world most people are too scared to look into. This book helped me realize there is no shame in being a part of this industry and if I want to see the world change, I have to do something about it. However, if you want to go up against people who think differently than you, education on your subject is important. I really had no information on pornography apart from what society had given me before reading this book. "Exposure" makes you comtemplate on the preconceived ideas you have about the sex work industry.
I'm mad at this book and I'm mad at Dr. Chauntelle for writing it. Sure it's a fascinatingly interesting, well written book by an expert on the topic, more than qualified to write on it but damn...if ever there is an example of not wanting to know "how the sausage is made" (so to speak) it's the porn industry. I have survived a significant number of years on this planet with the clear understanding that life on the set of a porno movie must be an absolute, non-stop f**k-fest. The cameraman, production assistants, craft services, etc. When the cameras stop rolling, that's when the REAL action starts in a twisted, beautiful yet sticky ballet of unscripted sexy time.
Turns out, that's not what happens at ALL. Turns out, it's so business like there, a person could even fall asleep while on set just to observe(!!)
Initially, I'd been so mad at my guidance counselor for not telling me this was an area of study I could pursue. By the end, I knew more about the inner workings than I'd ever expected to. I want to go back to my misguided belief of what I'd described above.
Jokes aside, all in all, this book is a full-fledged success. I only hope there is a follow up that can delve further into the topic. I will read that in a heartbeat.
She changes or avoids names as they do (perhaps a little too much) and skirts possible lawsuits as everyone must which is sad but inevitable. If you are consumer of porn, not just the product but memoirs and blogs as well you won't find much that you don't already know. On the other hand if you like porn memoirs you will certainly want to have this one in your collection.
One star knocked off for overenthusiastic name avoidance and then put back again for the academic background.
