The sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s is remembered as a
time of great freedom for women. But did the sexual revolution have
the same goals as the Women's Liberation Movement? Was it truly
liberation for women or just another insidious form of oppression?
In this provocative book, Shelia Jeffreys argues that sexual
freedom sometimes directly opposed actual freedom for women.
Anticlimax traces sexual mores and attitudes from the 1950s to the
1990s, exploring the nature of both straight and gay relationships
and offering original and compelling commentary on Lolita, Naked
Lunch, The Joy of Sex, The Masters/Johnson report, and other
representations in the literature on sexuality. At the root of
sexual liberation, Sheila Jeffreys finds an increasing
eroticisation of power differences within heterosexual, lesbian and
gay communities. Her alternative vision of sexual relations based
on equality is a major statement in the debates over sex and
violence that remain relevant in discussions about the Slutwalks,
sexualisation of girls and the pervasiveness of porn culture.
