From Booklist
If the late eighteenth century saw the start of the Industrial Revolution, then it can be argued that the late twentieth century kicked off the Sexual Revolution. Sexual behavior and beliefs that had long been constrained by silence suddenly were the focus of intense scrutiny, championed by Kinsey's ground-breaking reports on human sexuality. How our culture has adapted to new freedoms of expression is the subject in Escoffier's anthology, which chronicles the work of pioneering scientists who studied sexuality and inspiring artists who responded to it. Examining virtually every aspect of sexual behavior, from orgasms to open marriage to obscenity, Escoffier has created a definitive review of the most influential writing of the last half-century. A captivating and comprehensive investigation of an always fascinating aspect of human behavior. Carol Haggas

Kurzbeschreibung
What does "sexual revolution" mean? When, how, and why did it begin? What, if anything, did it change? And what hope do we have that its ideals of equality and pleasure can be realized? From Susan Sontag's "Pornographic Imagination" to Al Goldstein's notorious review of Deep Throat, Sexual Revolution explores the cultural, economic, political, and moral consequences of new ways of sexual thinking and behaving reclaiming the female orgasm and challenging the double standard; celebrating open marriage and homosexuality; and defying taboo and censorship. With Anne Koedt's classic "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm" and Norman Mailer's "The Homosexual Villain;" Helen Gurley Brown to Lenny Bruce to name a few this book features the voices of those who registered and provoked popular consciousness and transformed how we think about sex. Today, Dr. Phil talks about oral sex among grade-schoolers and porn star Jenna Jameson gets a six-figure advance for her memoirs. Something has changed, but Sexual Revolution reminds us that our sexuality remains a bitterly contested battleground. This collection includes selections by Erica Jong, Lawrence Lipton, Masters and Johnson, Betty Dodson, Gayle Rubin, Timothy Leary, Henry Miller, Huey Newton, Sigmund Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, and many others.

This remarkable book is a collection of essays from some of the most valuable and visionary intellects of the twentieth-century. They're all talking about sex which is a pretty universally interesting subject. Even right-wing Chritians do it from time to time in order to have children. But this book goes way beyond procreation, locating sex in a social context and showing how it became radicalized, politicized, and changed society as a result. The many great writers from Simone de Beauvoir, to Carl Jung, to Susan Sontag, share their thoughts, and the resulting collection catalogues the leaps into liberation that were the hallmarks of the time; from women reclaiming pornography, to gays in revolt against monogamy, to the average Joe feeling a tad more...experimental. Jeffrey Escoffier has done a terrific job in presenting this work with passioanate enthusiasm and editting it with impecable taste. It's enough to send a nun over the convent wall.

This is a really great book about the sexual revolution. It really looks at all aspects and perspectives, from men to women, colored people and even homosexuals. There is some great poetry that really emphasizes how the people felt in that time period from abortion, orgasms, pharmaceutical highs, to Malcolm x, and black power. You Dont have to read it cover to cover, skipping around is just fine. If you want to learn more about the 1950s-1960s and the people in it, this is a perfect book.

This book is truly wonderful. It is an excellent collection of incisive essays from some of the twentieth centuries most valuable and visionary intellects. And they're all thinking about sex which, let's face it, is a pretty universally interesting subject. Even right-wing Christians do it occasionally to make children. The writings merrily leap beyond procreation, locate sex in the political-social and intellectual arena, and focus on the hot revolutionary decade from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies. Amidst the steam they document the tremendous strides of liberation taking place -- women becoming orgasmic, gays becoming radicalized, and the average joe experiencing a greater sense of experimentation. It all an exhillarating read. Jeffrey Escoffier's presentation is articulate and passionate and his choice of material is impeccable. It's enough to make a nun leap over a convent wall.
