America's War on Sex

From BoyWiki

America's War on Sex is a book by sociologist, marriage and family therapist, and sex therapist Marty Klein.[1] The book focuses on the political, legal and civic battles raging in the United States against sexual freedom. It documents issues like censoring Comedy Central, the Internet, HBO, libraries, giving taxpayers' money to religious organizations, enacting laws to promote what the government calls "good moral values", elimination of strip clubs, swing clubs, and adult bookstores, limiting access to contraception, and brainwashing of the children that premarital sex ruins lives.[2] [3]

Americans are more vulnerable today than ever to anxiety about sexual danger, to believing that their sexuality is not "normal" or moral, and to laws and public policies that restrict their rights, criminalize their consenting behavior, and confuse and miseducate their children. In the second edition of America's War on Sex: The Continuing Attack on Law, Lust, and Liberty, psychologist, sex therapist, and courtroom expert witness Marty Klein sets the record straight and uncovers how the "Sexual Disaster Industry" works—a powerful social and political propaganda machine that is supported by the very citizens it victimizes.

This book analyzes eight "battlegrounds" in which America's War on Sex is being fought and examines how each one is the focus of an unrelenting struggle to regulate sexuality in direct contradiction to our Constitutional guarantees, scientific fact, and the needs of average Americans. Klein places these various attacks on our rights in historical context, explains how the money and political power are coordinated from the same sources, and shows how the Religious Right inflames Americans' anxiety about sexuality even as it proposes repressive schemes to reduce that anxiety. This book tackles a sensitive and volatile topic head-on, addressing how the political, social, historical, religious, and emotional issues surrounding public policy interfaces with sexuality as no other work has before.[4]
