This book analyzes hundreds of popular culture examples to expose how the media both avoids and alludes to how we derive pleasure from our bodies.Flatulence … male nudity … abortion … these are just a few of the taboo topics in the United States. What do culturally enforced silences about certain subjects say about our society—and our latent fears?
