Signed copies of the book for sale!\n\nRoach ( Happily Ever After)\, a gender and cultural studies professor at the Unive rsity of Alabama\, delivers a thorough “manisexto” on changing sexual norm s. Roach argues that young adults have a more equitable understanding of s ex than previous generations and points out where there’s room for improve ment. She posits that “good sex” accounts for the needs of one’s partners and might resemble the release of “spiritual ecstasy.” Sidebars quote stud ents from Roach’s Sexuality and Society course\, relating their perspectiv es on consent\, as well as anecdotes about navigating hookup culture and t he “orgasm gap\,” or the privileging of the man’s orgasm over the woman’s in heterosexual couplings. Roach emphasizes equity throughout and discusse s the need to appreciate bodies that are not “fit\, abled\, youthful\, and light-skinned” and to rewrite gender scripts to be more accepting of emot ional expression in men and desire for sex in women. The student quotes ca pture a panoramic view of how Generation Z thinks about sex\, with Roach’s analysis expertly distilling the social forces driving their anecdotes an d opinions. The result is a perceptive volume on the contemporary culture of sex.\n\n***\n\nCatherine M.
