I’m well-educated, open-minded, serious about my career and the people I love, and I am certainly not obsessed with sex. That is probably why I was so reluctant to research all things porn. Did being interested in porn make me somehow cheap or “dirty,” I wondered? Certainly smart, successful men aren’t apprehensive about going to a newsstand and buying a Playboy magazine or renting a hard core porn video at their local video store.
Admittedly, my first forays into porn were fueled by a boyfriend who accused me of being pornophobic. As usual I took criticism as a personal challenge. Obsessed with list-making, I jotted down every porn subject I was curious about, and set out to explore it. It was also my girlfriends (mostly good girls) who encouraged me to explore the world of porn, calling me their spy on a reconnaissance mission to gather information that would make them more sexually savvy. In the beginning, I merely saw myself on a quest to understand men and their fascination with porn. Now, you might be reading this and thinking, “Oh, not my man,” but yes, “Your man, too.” My research and interviews with dozens of men indicate that any woman who thinks that her significant other is not turned on by some porn, is fooling herself. 
In the end, I did learn a lot about men and their relationships with porn and sex, but what really surprised me was what I learned about myself and how I improved my relationship with sex. For six months I basically became a Good Girl Gone Wild. I did things like attend blow job seminars, visit brothels, watch porn, test vibrators, read erotica, and much, much more. And, I had a few epiphanies on the way. 
To start with, I realized that it doesn’t do anyone any good to live off yesterday’s orgasms, and that “cliterature” is a far better coping tool for break-ups than Haagen Dazs or buying shoes. The fact is that whether you are a single twenty-something exploring your sexuality for the first time, a married thirty-something with children trying to fit sex into a busy schedule, or a woman experiencing menopause, sex is a major part of everyone’s life. 
	However, if you’re a woman, you are likely to be more reluctant than a male reader or too strapped for time to do things like try a lap dance, patronize a sex store, research sex-enhancement products, or rent dozens of porn videos to figure out which one might improve your sex life. That’s why I have gone out and embarrassed myself—so that you don’t have to! 
In your hands, Pornology (that’s the name of the book this website is dedicated to for those of you who happened to just stumble onto this website) may be used to discover worthwhile products and places to improve your sex life without having to risk time or money testing these things yourself—a kind of Zagat’s guide to porn places and things, if you will. Or, if you’re one of the many women frustrated with dating in a society where men prefer Penthouse to poetry, you may use it to explore men’s fascination with porn. Or, you may simply read this book as it was originally meant to be: a laugh-out-loud chronicle of One Good Girl’s Exploration of All Things Naughty. An exploration that is constantly complicated by my break-ups with a string of INSIGNIFICANT OTHERS, my fear that social evolution is based on SURVIVAL OF THE PRETTIEST, hilarious diversions by THE NAUGHTY KNITTERS (a group of friends I stitch and bitch with) and my best guy friend, AN OUT-OF-THE-CLOSET METROSEXUAL, and, of course, my never-ending search for a Mr. Right, which pitifully disintegrates into a search for Mr. Right NOW.
If, after reading this introduction, you are still reluctant to explore the adventures of an anthropornologist because you are asking yourself, ‘Will I still be a good girl after reading this book?’ The answer is yes. An informed good girl is still a good girl.
