A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century: The Young Adult Adaptation of ’The Case Against the Sexual Revolution’

The bestselling feminist book, now adapted for a young adult audience

Before the 1960s, sex before marriage was frowned upon and pornography was difficult to get hold of. We are now much freer to do what we like - there has been a ’sexual revolution’. This must be a good thing, right?

Wrong, argues Louise Perry. These changes have had many negative consequences, especially for girls and women. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-ups and freely available porn are a tiny minority of rich and powerful men. Women have been forced to adapt to these changes in ways that often harm them.

Louise Perry carefully guides readers through the difficulties of sex in the 21st century. Her advice will be invaluable to all young women and men who may be feeling lost in a world where ’doing it’ can sometimes seem dangerous or confusing.

Louise Perry is a writer, columnist for UnHerd and a features writer for the Daily Mail. A long-time campaigner against male sexual violence, she is the Press Officer for the campaign group We Can’t Consent To This, which documents cases in which UK women have been killed and defendants have claimed in court that they died as a result of ’rough sex’. Her new podcast Maiden Mother Matriarch, about sexual politics, is available on all podcast platforms.
