This survey of sexuality in America is covers many topics from a multicultural point of view, reflecting the complexity of American society from a biological, psychological, social and spiritual standpoints. A major strength of the book is that it gives an honest portrayal of the many conceptual and methodological problems facing sex researchers...Another significant contribution of the book is that for every major topic area, the authors demonstrate how conflicting societal values have shaped people's perceptions, government decision-making, and, in some cases, biased research findings....Overall, this work is an outstanding achievement. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to obtain a comprehensive scholarly understanding of sexuality in American society. - Archives of Sexual Behaviour, 2002
