Description
Book SynopsisSex is cheap. This new wide ease of sexual access has been made possible by technology far more than by political or religious shifts. Drawing on survey and interview data, the book scrutinizes the American mating market, highlighting how men's interests dominate it, even while their marriageability recedes.
Trade ReviewIn this groundbreaking book, Dr Regnerus draws on several large, population based surveys to provide a representative overview of what Americans think and do with regard to sexual relationships, supplemented by stories from in-depth interviews with100 young adults aged 24-32 conducted by his research team. * The Family Education Trust Bulletin Issue 170 *
This book has the same message as George Gilder's Men and Marriage which came out a couple of decades back... Is this book unduly pessimistic? No, it is quite realistic...and a much needed wake-up call. * Dr Pravin Thevathasan, Catholic Medical Quartery *
