Für immer mehr Frauen und Männer ist Pornografie ein Freizeitabenteuer geworden, eine neue Variante, sich zu zeigen und sexuell auszuleben. Amateurplattformen dienen als Kontaktbörse, Verkaufsfläche und Werbeplattform. Aus den Profis einer noch vor wenigen Jahren boomenden Branche sind Verlierer und aus ganz normalen Menschen Mini-Pornoproduzenten und Amateurdarsteller geworden, die man virtuell treffen und mit denen man auch real Sex haben kann. Philip Siegel geht mit seinem Buch Drei Zimmer, Küche, Porno auf eine einzigartige Entdeckungsreise in einen Kosmos, in dem Normalität und Exzentrik oft nur eine Wohnungstür voneinander entfernt liegen. Er blickt hinter die Kulissen einer verborgenen Branche, die unser Verhältnis zur Sexualität sowohl spiegelt als auch immer stärker beeinflusst.

She was filmed having sex with a long receiving line of men, servicing them 251 times over a ten-hour period to set a new world record: The World's Biggest Gangbang. Now bestselling author Gerrie Lim, Annabel's longtime friend and confidant, revisits those events and reexamines those scenarios to shed new light on her legend, to discover why such an enduring curiosity about her exists, and to learn why she is still regarded in her own native Singapore as something akin to a mythological figure. As Lim writes, "she did this gangbang as a gender studies/liberal- progressive/feminist statement to subvert gender stereotypes, but no one got it." This book, featuring many of the author's own conversations and correspondences with Annabel over the years, is the first serious inquiry into the fascinating persona of a seldomdiscussed, yet often secretly venerated, Asian celebrity
