| Summary: | A portrait of Americans' sexuality covers a wide range of sexual experiences, including losing one's virginity, "coming out", sex after marriage, adultery, and less-mainstream sexual practices. "It was disconcerting to find that sex is still such a dangerous subject in this country. A quick scan of American popular culture would make it seem that there is nothing of a sexual nature that hasn't been publicly discussed, displayed, exploited, and exhausted....Despite all this commercial sexuality there's not much information available on Americans' actual sex practives besides a few white-coated clinical investigations, like the Kinsey report, or compilations of lifeless statistics gaethered through surverys in college psychology departments or in self-help magazines." -- back cover. |
