Modern American and European society has an unprecedented interest in, perhaps an obsession with, sexual matters.

 
 

  • Pornography has become a huge business.

  • Teen sexual behaviors have significantly changed.

  • The media makes extensive use of sexual imagery in advertising and in programming.

  • Sexual harrassment in the workplace and in schools has become a problem.

  • The full social and political implications of these trends have not been completely studied.
