But beneath the veneer of glossy hedonism, millennial journalist Rachel Hills argues that we are in the grip of a new brand of sexual control. Cosmopolitan meets Foucault in this full-scale investigation of the role that sex plays in today's culture. Coming of age in the early 2000s, Rachel Hills felt like a romantic and sexual misfit. Raised on a diet of women's magazines, teen soap operas, and media panics over "hooking up" and "raunch culture," she believed that everyone her age was dining at an all-you-can-eat sexual buffet. Everyone, that is, but her. When a chance encounter with a new friend challenges her preconceptions, Hills sets out to discover the truth about her generation's sexual cultures, speaking with more than 200 people to produce a landmark account of contemporary sexual life. What she finds is the sex myth--the grand significance we invest in sexuality that once meant we were dirty if we did have sex, and now means we are defective if we don't do it enough. An ambitious mix of sociology, popular culture, and powerful personal stories, The Sex Myth uncovers the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape what we think about sex--and accordingly, how we feel about our own sex lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sex customs. 650 0 $a Sex (Psychology) $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) 650 0 $a Sex in popular culture. 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 0 $a Feminist theory. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / Interpersonal Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Feminist theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922816 650 7 $a Identity (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966892 650 7 $a Sex customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114306 650 7 $a Sex in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114483 650 7 $a Sex (Psychology) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114234 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081313.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110063230.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013058.0 952 $l HUAX887 $d 20161004131704.0 $m HUAX887 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20160930010840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F6E9B7855EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
