Observing the role that media play in relation to sex, gender, and sexuality, this book considers the regulation of sex and sexual representation, issues around the 'sexualization of culture', and demonstrates how a critical focus on sex media can inform debates on sex education and sexual health, as well as illuminate the relation of sex to labour, leisure, intimacy, and bodies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eSex Media\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for students and scholars of media, culture, gender and sexuality.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introducing Sex, Gender, and Sexuality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Regulating Sex Media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Sexualization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Sex Media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Sex Media, Culture and Society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eReferences\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441785925912,"sku":"9781509516872","price":42.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509516872.jpg?v=1785025039","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sex-media-hardback-9781509516872","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
