Description

The bestselling feminist book, now adapted for a young adult audience

Before the 1960s, sex before marriage was frowned upon and pornography was difficult to get hold of. We are now much freer to do what we like - there has been a 'sexual revolution'. This must be a good thing, right?

Wrong, argues Louise Perry. These changes have had many negative consequences, especially for girls and women. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-ups and freely available porn are a tiny minority of rich and powerful men. Women have been forced to adapt to these changes in ways that often harm them.

Louise Perry carefully guides readers through the difficulties of sex in the 21st century. Her advice will be invaluable to all young women and men who may be feeling lost in a world where 'doing it' can sometimes seem dangerous or confusing.

Reviews

"Girls are in need of an honest voice of reason who tells it to them like it is, and empowers them to demand respect for themselves and their bodies in an age of sexual anarchy. With A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century, Perry seems poised to do just that."
