Rosalie Maggio, The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): ''Men may buy pornography but women pay for it - in terms of exploitation, rape, violence, and a society that sees them as disposable sexual-objects. Pornography associates women with pain, inferiority, and humiliation ; the assumption for the user is that this is real and normal. Good sex is also a victim; a graduate of The School of Pornography is a sex-illiterate. Erotica differs from pornography in that it celebrates rather than degrades human-sexuality . It preserves the mutuality of sexual activity, is not exploitative, controlling, objectifying, addictive, a "using" activity, or affected by prurient-interests. ''
