Books in the Sexualities in Society series

This book examines the importance of new digital spaces for discourses surrounding sexuality, exploring issues such as pornography; sex education and health; LGBTQ sexualities; polysexuality or polyamory; abstention; sexual abuse and violence and more.

This interdisciplinary collection brings together theory and public health practice to analyse three forms of radical sexualities: bareback sex, BDSM practices, and public sex. Engaging with theorists such as Bataille, Butler, Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault, it mobilizes queer theory and poststructuralism to contribute to current research in gender and sexuality studies through grounded empirical case studies. With studies drawn from the USA, Brazil, Canada and Europe, it will be of interest to those researching gender and sexuality, anthropology, sociology, as well as practitioners in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and psychology.
