Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the “Frenzy of the Visible” (1989) is a book by American academic Linda Williams that details and analyzes the history and forms of pornographic films.
Amongst other things Linda Williams concludes that facials are a fetish or a perversion. She states "The money shot is thus an obvious perversion -in the literal sense of the term, as a swerving away from more "direct" forms of genital engagement- of the tactile sexual connection."
