Reviews
"""Based on impressive research in a wide variety of sources, including popular literature, advertisements, true confession and physique magazines, advice columns, sex surveys, vice investigation reports, and personal letters, The First Sexual Revolution offers a provocative interpretation of the impact of the sexual revolution on men. White's boldly-stated criticism of sexual liberalism is sure to arouse controversy. Yet his view of men confused by new expectations of attractiveness and sexiness, threatened by women's demands for sexual satisfaction, yet essentially still in control, is compelling."" --Leila J. Rupp Ohio State University, Co-author of Survival in the Doldrums:The American Women's Rights Movement, 1945 to the 1960s."
