Not a love story

A thought provoking chronicle of the odyssey of two women motivated by the desire to know more about pornography - why it exists, the forms it takes and how it affects the relations between men and women. It offers insights and perspective’s from men and women who earn their living from the porn trade, and from some of pornography’s most outspoken critics.
