SEX IN PUBLIC

---

From the Publisher's Marketplace Announcement: 

Sociologist Angela Jones's Erotic Power, an exploration of how sexuality operates in society, arguing that our sex lives are never private; that sex plays an outsized role in the shaping of norms, communities, and politics; and that the pursuit of pleasure can liberate us from the vice grip of sexual stigma and broader forces of oppression, to Brandon Proia at Seal Press, by Margo Beth Fleming at Brockman.  

SEX IN PUBLIC:  The Transformative Social Power of Our Erotic Lives 

Sex In Public offers a revolutionary new paradigm for understanding sexuality in society. Weaving together ground-breaking sociological research, decades of sexual science, feminist theory, personal narrative, and the voices and stories of sexual rule-breakers from across the spectrum of gender and sexuality worldwide. Sex in Public depicts the interlocking workings of our erotic desires, behaviors, identities, relationships, and communities. Mapping out the ways that those who fully embody their sexuality push back against repressive and abusive forces that infiltrate normative and fetish cultures alike, Sex in Public insists that better sex and more empowerment are possible, through a rebellious eroticism that uplifts bodily autonomy, social justice, and shared pleasure. An invitation to know our sexualities fully, Sex In Public proclaims that we can free our bodies and our societies by reimagining sexuality from the ground up. .
