In 1994, the University of Chicago Press published the landmark
study "The Social Organization of Sexuality," "the most important
survey since the Kinsey report," according to "Time" magazine.
Based on data collected from the National Health and Social Life
Survey, this heralded book answered hundreds of questions about the
state of sex in America: how widespread is extramarital sex? how do
women's sexual lives differ from men's? how do social factors such
as education, race, and religion affect sexual conduct? While
amazingly comprehensive, this earlier volume was devoted primarily
to establishing baseline statistics and information. Two authors of
that study, Edward O. Laumann and Robert T. Michael, now bring
together the result of deeper research into and analysis of the
information presented in the 1994 volume. The result, "Sex, Love,
and Health in America," is a companion to "The Social Organization
of Sexuality" and furthers our understanding of Americans' sexual
practices.
Sixteen researchers have contributed essays to this collection that
explore controversial topics, including teenage sexuality, sexual
contact between children and adults, abortion, the role of
cohabitation in the sexual satisfaction of couples, and how sexual
behavior has changed in response to AIDS, as well as a widely
heralded examination of circumcision, reported in the "New York
Times," which discusses the effects of the procedure on disease
transmission and the preference for certain sexual practices. In
its analysis, policy recommendations, and revelations about private
practices, "Sex, Love, and Health in America" will, like the
earlier volume, have a major role in shaping the discussion
aboutAmerican sexual behavior.
