The working title of my book-in-proposal is Porn Valley, USA. When I originally pitched the book to agents, it was called The War on Porn. That was shot down, so to speak, as the focus of the book shifted, and, it seems, the war on porn was lost before it was won, or fought, or, in fact, existed. At various times during this process, I would get worked into a lather and spasmodically change the title. For a brief moment in time, the title was Can't Hold Back the Demons, which is taken from a T-shirt one pornographer was wearing. I still think that's kind of hot, but it sounds a bit too much like a rockumentary (see also: "Some Kind of Monster"). A long time ago, I pitched a TV show called "American Sex"; it had a pseudo-half-naked photo of me on the cover. Three years ago, I made a TV pilot with MTV Networks called "Oh, Susannah!"; a reader of my blog thought of that one. Personally, I think the title of my book should be PORN, all capital letters. I would like to call it like it is.
