Synopsis
Sometimes surprising, always stimulating — this book offers a snapshot of America&’s complex sexual practices and mores as seen through Cleis&’s unique lens. It is the best nonfiction sex journalism of the year in one unforgettable book. In a single generation, Cleis Press has fundamentally changed the way people talk — and what they read — about sex and gender. Founded by Felice Newman and Frédérique Delacoste in 1980, the press&’s mission is to explore and celebrate sex in all its forms, with a decided tilt toward the queer and the subversive. For the first time, Cleis&’s founders bring their own sex-positive sensibilities to bear on one of their most popular series. In Best Sex Writing 2006, they&’ve collected the year&’s most challenging and provocative nonfiction articles on this endlessly evocative subject.The essays here comprise a detailed, direct survey of the contemporary American sexual landscape, a landscape Newman and Delacoste helped shape with such ground-breaking books as Sex Work and The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex. Major commentators both in and out of Cleis&’s stable of writers examine the many roles sex plays in our lives in these literate and lively essays.
