"Arresting...intellectually satisfying....Reveals a curious and previously hidden history of sex in America, in which scientific theories offered seemingly rational foundations for sexual abstinence, while religion, for once, gave us the nod of cosmic approval"-- Psychology Today . This provocative book shows how Christianity has shaped Americans' sexual expectations--and laid the foundations for the sexual revolution.
