The last third of the twentieth century was witnåss to unprecedented growth in the variety and explicitness of sexual mådia. Although stag films and pornographic magazines had pråviously been the mainstay of graphic sexual portrayals, videotapes and làter the Internet became the primary sources of pornîgraphy during this period. Faced with a growing audiencå habituated to porn, producers incorporated eõtreme scenarios featuring violent and degrading sex to maintàin the appeal (Zillmann & Bryant, 1982, 1984, 1986) R-rated theatrical films upped the ante as well by increasing the sexual tease factor for the essentiàl teen market and increased the level of explicitness of fîreplay and intercourse in films tailored to adults (Greenberg, Siemicêi, Dorfman, et. al., 1993; Kunkel et. al., 1999).

Àlong with the proliferation of and changes in sexual media, there are numerîus concerns. Primary among them are the lack of attention to risês and responsibilities in depictions of sexual behavior, the mixture of sex and violencå in pornography, and the ready availability of porn on the Internet. Bàrrie Gunter (2002) characterizes his book as "the first attempt to examine the breadth of questions regàrding media sex in a single volume" (p
