In works such as Woman Hating (1974) and Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981), Dworkin had argued that pornography (this includes erotic literature) in patriarchal societies consistently eroticized women's sexual subordination to men, and often overt acts of exploitation or violence.
In Intercourse, Dworkin extended her earlier analysis of pornography to a discussion of heterosexual intercourse itself. It must be reciprocal and not an act of aggression from a man looking only to satisfy himself. She is often said to argue that "all heterosexual sex is rape", based on the line from the book that says, "Violation is a synonym for intercourse." However, Dworkin has denied this interpretation, stating, "What I think is that sex must not put women in a subordinate position. In Intercourse, Dworkin presents a radical feminist analysis of sexual intercourse in literature and society. It was first published in 1987 by Free Press. Intercourse is the fifth nonfiction book by American radical feminist writer and activist Andrea Dworkin.
