Review:
"...lucid, graceful and sensible...Siedman's treatment usefully deepens our understanding of some contemporary sexual controversies.." -- David F. Greenberg.Ph.D. Archives of Sexual Behavior - 1998
"This is an important book that bravely tackles perhaps the key question on modern sexual politics: in the post-modern flux, where old certainties have collapsed, on what foundations can a progressive sexual ethics be built? In a lively analysis, Steven Seidman takes us beyond romanticism and libertarianism to an ethics where consent and responsibility become the crucial guidelines for a culture in which sexual diversity is the norm. This book is a major contribution to the ongoing sexuality debate, and will surely become one of its key texts." -- Jeffrey Weeks, Professor of Social Relations, Bristol Polytechnic, England.
