About this listen

Talkin’ about my generation? It’s the Porn Generation

It’s everywhere, from commercials to New York Times best-sellers to college (and even younger) classrooms. In fact, pornography has become such a part of normal life in 21st century America that many teens and twenty-somethings have had no more important influence. They are the porn generation, where life’s expectations come from Mouseketeer pop tarts, Victoria’s Secret, internet titillation, and condom-flogging sex education.

Tom Wolfe’s novel Charlotte Simmons told part of the story - but in Porn Generation it’s for real. Ben Shapiro speaks as a member of this generation, and the tale he has to tell is a shocking perspective on life in an age where moral relativism reigns on college campuses, oversexed narcissism rules the airwaves, and purity is the new sin. In Porn Generation you’ll learn:

  • How porn producers see themselves as shaping and taking over Mainstreet U.S.A.
  • The real face of taxpayer-funded sex education: nine-year-olds learning about condoms; twelve-year-olds being questioned about their "sexual orientation"
  • The new collegiate do’s (accepting "sexile") and don’ts ("dormcest")
  • How Hollywood and TV have mainstreamed pornography: why porn stars now turn up regularly on television and in glossy ads - and why celebrities imitate porn stars
  • Mamas, don’t let your daughters grow up to be co-eds: why on college campuses - and throughout the porn generation - sexual relationships are as disposable as used condoms

Is there any good news? Yes. A lifestyle of playing pimps and hos - even if dressed up in preppie clothing - can only last so long before disease, despair, and depression set in - and many in the porn generation are beginning to wake up to their tragedy. Ben Shapiro closes Porn Generation with a roundtable discussion that brings together the diverse perspectives of columnist and bestselling author Michelle Malkin, Dallas Morning News op-ed editor Rod Dreher, former Princeton chaplain Father C. J. McCloskey III, and columnist and best-selling author David Limbaugh to discuss how bad things have become and what the prospects are for bringing the porn generation back from the brink. Porn Generation is the book that will define this generation - and provide a warning for generations to come.

Editorial reviews

Ben Shapiro’s Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism Is Corrupting Our Future is a serious-minded treatise on morality, sexuality, and the modern era which attempts to coral a wide variety of statistics, trends, and anecdotal evidence into a cohesive commentary on West’s so-called "porn generation", and the social mores that define the lives of young Americans today.

Andrew Sweeney’s performance perfectly complements the academic tone of this extremely thought-provoking conservative work; his reading is calm and measured, but eminently listenable, and he guides the listener through Shapiro’s arguments with great grace. An interesting and engrossing contribution to the ongoing debate on modern American cultural values.

A great read that raises a lot of questions.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The book is very well written and narrated just as well.

While I do not agree with all the ideas raised in the book, the overall ideas are definitely something that the western world should be discussing.

While Ben Sharpiro focuses on the United States of America, the problems are just as real here in Australia.

TRUTH WITH NOTHING HELD BACK

This should be read or listened to by everyone.
Very sobering.
Hollywood, advertising agencies, and the media at large have a lot to answer for.
Well done Ben Shapiro
Now, I want to see what else of his work is available.

Great book

As a young woman learning to navigate through our culture and society I could not recommend this book enough. It really makes you think about level of degradation and decay of our culture; things you want for your family and how to achieve them. :)

Much food for thought

While I hold more libertarian views on the involvement of the government in social matters, from the moral standpoint, it was a fantastic book. I'm really glad to have read it.

It's entertaining, brave and unapologetic. I disagree with Ben on a few things, but his contribution to the pool of common knowledge and thought is enormous.

I think this audiobook would have been even better if Ben narrated it himself like he did his latest gem, The Right Side of History.

great read

Very sad read on the extent of sexualisation in society. What I liked was Ben's wit about the tripe and propaganda coming out of Hollywood. His facetiousness dig at the producers, stars, singers, (harlots, sluts and pimps); willingly participating in pushing the acceptance of porno to the younger generation.
