Interview with Susannah Breslin

Writing about sexuality without sounding either trite or didactic is harder than it seems. Stuck as we are in outdated and rigid ideas of both sexuality and gender, it is a rare writer who manages not to polarize, moralize, or reduce sexual subjects that are particularly rich or thorny. This task becomes gargantuan when the subject is pornography.

Over a span of almost ten years, author Susannah Breslin, has turned her back on the "porn debate" and delved deep into the heart of porn. Her writings have offered up some of the most thoughtful analyses on the subject, while avoiding stale arguments, and along the way reminding us why the debate itself is petty and misguided.

Breslin recently agreed to an interview where she talks about her work, seeing beauty in the horror, the effects of watching too much porn, and her desire to go behind the curtain and find the Wizard.
