“Porn’s power to produce an actual physical reaction in its audience is incredibly powerful, something that isn’t available to just about any other type of storytelling (except works of total genius that bring tears to your eyes, I guess). The problem is it’s so subjective, not really critically quantifiable. You can’t write about how effectively arousing something is because that’s infinitely variable depending on who’s reading. All you can do is talk about a general sense of eroticism, something that I think is slightly easier to define.”
