Sex is under siege - sex is fighting back - sex has always been dangerous, to societies, as well as individuals. It has always been the stuff around which utopias have been woven, and now as much as ever before, people are talking about it and re-evaluating it. Tracing the earliest roots of sexual utopianism from the 17th century, this book follows the beginning of sexual liberation, chronicles its battles with the Catholic Church, explores its growth in the 1960s counter-culture and rediscovers forgotten messiahs of alternative sexual lifestyles on both sides of the Atlantic.
