In the corresponding call for papers , the journal is referred to as the first dedicated international journal for the subject.
reception
The announcement of the new trade journal generated an echo in the media and from interest groups. The British daily The Guardian regards the publication of the magazine as an implicit criticism of the failure of cultural studies to scientifically investigate the topic of pornography and as a reflection of the dispute over feminist views on pornography in the second wave of feminism .
The journal met with harsh criticism from opponents of pornography. Gail Dines, an anti-porn activist, likened editors-in-chief Attwood and Smith to "climate skeptics" and "industry cheerleaders".
