The Sexual SceneJohn H. Gagnon, William Simon Transaction Publishers - 293 lappuses "The new morality" has excited counÂtless public and private, formal and inÂformal, scientific and non-scientific, sober and frankly provocative discusÂsions. Those aspects related to sexual relationships and sexual behavior and the meaning of our "moral breakÂdown" have been much discussed. The essays in this volume address themselves to a more subtle and poÂtentially more meaningful question: What is the extent of deviance from traditional patterns of sexual relaÂtionships, and what have been the legal and political implications of widespread transgression of legal and, for many, personal codes or moÂrality? This volume confronts the myths and the realities of the sexual revolution in America. As such it helps explain the limits as well as the goals of a new generation in search of new standards of conduct. |
