A refreshing counterpoint to AIDS-teria,

This review is from: DOES ANYONE STILL REMEMBER WHEN SEX WAS FUN? (Paperback)
A great collection of essays from people in the front lines of emerging sexuality, this book is a good read for anyone who wants a more balanced view of contemporary sexuality. The essays discuss the science of AIDS and other STD transmission, strategies for coping/prevention, truly risky behaviors versus "perceived" risky behaviors, and sexuality from the perspectives of women, men, gays, straights, and youth.There are parts of the book where the services of a better copyeditor might have been valuable, but that's not enough to be a real problem - just stay with it when it meanders a bit, you'll get the point eventually. Though the pace of science makes some of the material (I read the 1996 edition) a tad dated, it is still a good counterweight to the unreasonable fearmongering of sexual repressionists and the naive media. Their conscious or unconscious "disinformation" concerning the very real, but extremely limited, AIDS phenomenon has negatively influenced the thinking too many otherwise sensible folks. |
