Book Reviews of Sex in America
Book Review: An Excellent Starting Off Point
Summary: 5 Stars
This study was attacked from the beginning by the Neither Religious Nor Right. If it wasn't the questions, the methodology,and the funding, it was a political maelstrom that almost stopped this study in its' tracks.
The study points out just how different we really are from many preconceptions. It also is honest enough to deliberately point out the areas of study that need to be more completely done.
What it does is to give us a reappraisal that was needed. It is now time for another study. The study must take into account many of the findings of this particular study.
The study needs to take regional population as a factor. It fully needs to take Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and Transgendered populations into account. It should discuss the various islands of populations such as LA, Atlanta, New York City, and the rural populations. The questionaire needs to be free of Right Wing Politics playing to the Neither Religious Nor Right. It must ask hard direct questions about sexuality that were removed from the original study.The number of participants needs to be expanded. The study needs to be properly funded. This was in fact a shoe string study fraught with many problems that almost completely derailed it.
I bought this in Hardback years ago for $50.00. It was money well spent.
