Sexual beliefs, behaviors and identities are interwoven throughout
our lives, from childhood to old age. An edited collection of
original empirical contributions united through its use of a
distinctive, cutting-edge theoretical framework, Sex for Life
critically examines sexuality across the entire lifespan. Rooted in
diverse disciplines and employing a wide range of research methods,
the chapters explore the sexual and social transitions that
typically map to broad life stages, as well as key age-graded
physiological transitions, such as puberty and menopause, while
drawing on the latest developments in gender, sexuality, and life
course studies. Sex for Life explores a wide variety of topics,
including puberty, sexual initiation, coming out, sexual assault,
marriage/life partnering, disability onset, immigration, divorce,
menopause, and widowhood, always attending to the social locations
- including gender, race, ethnicity, and social class - that shape,
and are shaped by, sexuality. The empirical work collected in Sex
for Life ultimately speaks to important public policy issues, such
as sex education, aging societies, and the increasing
politicization of scientific research. Accessibly written, the
contributions capture the interplay between individual lives and
the ever-changing social-historical context, facilitating new
insight not only into people's sexual lives, but also into ways of
studying them, ultimately providing a fresh, new perspective on
sexuality.
