Sexing the Millennium

Más información sobre el libro

Has there really been a sexual revolution? Sex is under siege - sex is fighting back - sex has always been dangerous, to societies as well as individuals. It has always been the stuff around which utopias have been woven. Charting the origins of sexual freedom in the anarcho-erotic sects of the English Civil War, through the hippie idealism of sixties counter-culture, to our present, postmodern bewilderment, Sexing the Millennium examines the intellectual, economic and technological movement that formed the sexual revolution, from sixties to the present day. In the age of AIDS, Madonna and Virtual Reality porn, the memory of the brief years when sex was free from the threats of both pregnancy and disease continues to shape our dreams. Sexing the Millennium affirms that the personal is still political. It calls for a new sexual revolution, which would at last liberate female desire from the thrall of male fantasy and allow women to pursue the passionate, erotic adventure of their own lives.
