In refreshing contrast, in this volume Catherine Roach gives her college students a platform to speak on their own behalf about their worries and hopes for sexual pleasure. In so doing, she cuts through moral panics and political smokescreens to issue an accessible, lucid, and expansive call for new possibilities for living gender and sexuality. \u003ci\u003eGood Sex\u003c\/i\u003e is an uncommon blast of good sense.\u003c\/p\u003e - Ann Pellegrini, New York University, coauthor of \"You Can Tell Just By Looking\" and 20 Other Myths about LGBT Life and People \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGood Sex: Transforming America through the New Gender and Sexual Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, Catherine Roach sets out an optimistic vision of a New Gender and Sexual Revolution happening in the United States and beyond, which she argues builds on earlier sexual revolutions of the 1960s and 70s. Roach offers a positive and optimistic vision of how students define and manage their sexuality and experience of sex, showing that this new gender and sexual revolution goes much further than earlier revolutions that largely focused on sex. The views here from students are much bigger statements of cultural change, optimistic in terms of the future, offering a more egalitarian and positive vision of change and presenting exciting vistas for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e - Ann Brooks, editor of The Routledge Companion to Romantic Love \u003cp\u003eI loved reading this Mani\u003ci\u003eSex\u003c\/i\u003eto! Catherine Roach has charted the path from puritanical past to the new gender and sexual revolution with verve. Without shying away from hot button topics she explores the evolving norms of sex and love and their impacts on civic life, lucidly and decisively navigating what makes sex good, what sex is worth having and how we might make it better.\u003c\/p\u003e - Clarissa Smith, Northumbria University, Newcastle \u003cp\u003eRoach emphasizes equity throughout and discusses the need to appreciate bodies that are not 'fit, abled, youthful, and light-skinned' and to rewrite gender scripts to be more accepting of emotional expression in men and desire for sex in women. The student quotes capture a panoramic view of how Generation Z thinks about sex, with Roach's analysis expertly distilling the social forces driving their anecdotes and opinions. The result is a perceptive volume on the contemporary culture of sex.\u003c\/p\u003e (Publishers Weekly) \u003cp\u003eThoughtful and thought-provoking, insightful and iconoclastic, \"Good Sex: Transforming America through the New Gender and Sexual Revolution\" is a work of impressively and meticulous scholarship in the field of the medical, psychology, and cultural anthropology of human sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e - Reviewer's Bookwatch (Midwest Book Review.)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe United States may have a puritanical past, but the 21st century is wide open to diverse gender expression and romance. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Sex \u003c\/i\u003eis the manifesto—or Mani\u003ci\u003esex\u003c\/i\u003eto, if you will—for this cultural revolution. Same-sex marriage is legal, the #MeToo movement has exploded, colleges nationwide now teach consent-based sexual health, the media celebrates body positivity, and transgender visibility has become mainstream. Defining \"good sex\" as both ethical and pleasurable, Catherine M. Roach features such topics as equity, intersectionality, and shared pleasure while offering a lively discussion that is inclusively feminist, queer-friendly, and sex-positive without being divisive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn accessible guidebook, \u003ci\u003eGood Sex\u003c\/i\u003e provides hope that America's sexual, gender, and racial injustices can be addressed together.
