Good Sex

The United States may have a puritanical past, but the 21st century has ushered in a cultural revolution for sexuality and gender, resulting in greater acceptance and protection for diversity in gender expression and romance. Good Sex is the manifesto-or ManiSexto, if you will-for this intersectional cultural transformation. Same-sex marriage has been legalized, the #MeToo movement exploded, colleges nationwide now teach consent-based sexual health, the media celebrates body positivity, and transgender visibility has become mainstream. Defining good sex as both ethical and pleasurable, Catherine M. Roach features such topics as positive sexuality, equity and inclusion, body positivity, consent, and shared pleasure and offers a lively discussion that is inclusively feminist, queer-friendly, and sex-positive without being polarizing or divisive.An accessible guidebook, Good Sex provides hope that America's intertwined history of racial, sexual, and gender injustices can be resolved. After all, this new gender and sexual revolution strengthens civil society and freedom through a quintessentially American commitment to the pursuit of happiness and love. Welcome to the revolution!
