In The Social Construction of Sexuality, Steven Seidman questions
such assumptions and investigates the political and social
consequences of privileging certain sexual practices and identities
while stigmatizing others. Addressing a range of topics from gay
and lesbian identities to sex work, he delves into issues of social
control that inform popular beliefs and moral standards. The Social
Construction of Sexuality widens the public discussion of the
morality and politics of sexuality. With this insightful
exploration of society s effect on our sexual choices, Seidman once
again makes a significant contribution to the sociological study of
sexuality. The Social Construction of Sexuality is part of the
Contemporary Societies series.
