NSFW?

The debut issue of Porn Studies, published by Routledge and co-edited by a professor at London’s Middlesex University -- yes, Middlesex -- was released in March. And, most likely those with this journal in their possession really did pick it up for the articles. Titles include “Revisiting dirty looks,” “Hard to swallow:Hard-core pornography on screen,” “Internationalizing porn studies” and “Pornography, porno, porn.”

Time magazine commented that "anyone looking for titillation is likely to be disappointed. (Unless what turns you on is sociological analysis, in which case — it’s your lucky day.)" The Atlantic stated, "The mere fact of its existence, which became public in mid-2013, was occasion for a media event. But the journal's articles are serious articulations of the intersection between the concerns of media studies and those of pornography. Porn Studies is not a joke, though it seems to provide everyone with some relief to treat it as one."

The editors, in their journal notes, called Porn Studies a labor of love.

Or something like.
