Sexual Cultures: Communities, Values and Intimacy

One of three volume of papers from a 1994 conference held at the University of Central Lancashire. Contributors demonstrate how the social shapes the sexual and how the sexual becomes a focal point for personal identity, values, and political action. They look at subjects including gay genes and feminist science theory, the British sex survey tradition, the de-gaying and re-gaying of AIDS, and HIV-positive health workers.
