Repression, revolution, repletion from the 1950s to the present day, the role of sex in American society has undergone a series of radical changes.

Repression, revolution, repletion from the 1950s to the present day, the role of sex in American society has undergone a series of radical changes. Once a taboo subject, confined to the privacy of the matrimonial bed, sex has moved through rapid stages of development, and a veritable explosion of awareness, to reach its current state of saturation - used and abused by the media, victim of AIDS-provoked paranoia, sex has been hyped and hollowed almost to breaking point. But how much do we really know about the role sex plays in people's lives? Scientific data is thin on the ground, and previous well-documented reports have always been a victim of their own format - interviews with volunteers cannot give the cross section of information that enables an honest, up-to-date portrait of sexual behaviour. "Sex in America", however, is such a portrait. Based on extensive interviews with a random selection of participants, it is the first survey of its kind to offer truly reliable answers to the questions that are prone to so much speculation: how often do people really have sex, and with whom? How many (or how few) men define themselves as homosexual? How high is the incidence of marital infidelity? What sort of people are likely to carry a sexually-transmitted disease? Many of the answers to these questions go against the grain of conventional wisdom. Often controversial, always surprising, the findings in "Sex in America" are essential reading for anyone who wants to know the truth about sex in the Western world.
