Sample Book Insights:
#1 The porn actor James Deen made a film with a fan named Girl X in 2010. She was nervous, but Deen said she was awe-struck by his celebrity. She could back out at any time, and he said they could rip up the contract if she was uncomfortable.
#2 When Girl X asks herself what she is doing with her life, she is also asking herself if she wants to be slut-shamed for having sex with Deen. She is grappling with the spectators inside her head and the power of spectacle itself.
#3 The experience of sex for Girl X is a painful and familiar one. She is pulled in different directions, and has to balance desire with risk. She has to pay attention to so much in the pursuit of pleasure.
#4 MeToo has created a culture that prizes womenâs speech, and yet many women are not being listened to or believed.
