In this media driven age in which private has become public we
have seen the Stonewall riots, which launched the gay rights
movement, Hair on Broadway with a nude cast, art from Mapplethorpe
to Madonna, AIDS and safe sex campaigns, drag gone mainstream, and
adolescents engaging in sexual activity at increasingly younger
ages. At the same time, society continually tries to eradicate open
expressions of sexuality and harass those who ignore the mandated
modes of permissible sexual expression.
Taking on those who would limit sexual freedom, New Sexual
Agendas challenges the notion that there are fixed sexual behaviors
for men and women. This engaging collection draws on a number of
disciplines including women's studies, literature, gender studies,
cultural studies, history, politics, and education, sociology, and
psychology. Including well known thinkers such as Jeffrey Weeks,
Leonore Tiefer, and Mary McIntosh, New Sexual Agendas explores our
sexual legacy, from turn-of-the-century sexologists to the
inequalities of sexually invested social structures, from the rise
of the Right and its portent for sexual freedoms to the myth of
women as the subordinate sex. Along the way it explores the limits
of trust in intimate relationships, the escalating AIDS epidemic,
and the dangers of prescribed sex roles for both heterosexual and
homosexual relationships.
