Mai 1968 a affranchi la sexualité de ses tabous et de ses archaïsmes. Pour le meilleur, mais aussi pour le pire, car avec cette « révolution », les plus jeunes ont été entraînés dans une sexualité prématurée, reconnue aujourd’hui comme violente.Historienne, féministe engagée, Malka Marcovich a été témoin de ce qu’a représenté Mai 1968 pour toute une génération. Forte de cet héritage de liberté, mais aussi consciente des dérives, elle est allée à la rencontre de femmes et d’hommes qui ont souffert d’un climat d’abus sexuel, insidieux ou manifeste.Ce livre donne enfin la parole à ceux qui se sont trop longtemps tus et aborde de manière inédite un tournant fondamental dans l’histoire de nos sociétés.

"Sadomasochism and the BDSM Community in the United States: Kinky People Unite chronicles the development of sadomasochistic sexuality and its communities in the United States from the post-war period to the present day. Having evolved from scattered networks of sadomasochists to a coherent body bound by shared principles of "safe, sane, consensual," activists worked to transform popular perceptions of their community, end its routine harassment by law enforcement, and win inclusion in American society. Often paralleling the work of LGBTQ activists, people who engaged in BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism) transformed both their own sexual practices and how outsiders perceived them, successfully changing popular perceptions of them from fascists, murderers, and outlaws to people living an alternative lifestyle. The development of this community highlights the interactions of people of different sexual orientations within a sexual community, the influence of various campaigns for sexual freedom, and the BDSM community's influence on popular perceptions of sexuality and sexual freedom. The text's historical perspective gives depth and texture to a specific dimension of American history of sexuality. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of sexuality. It's clear and direct approach offers an important and useful chronology of a movement that has long been neglected"--

The relationship between religious belief and sexuality as personal attributes exhibits some provocative comparisons. Despite the nonestablishment of religion in the United States and the constitutional guarantee of free exercise, Christianity functions as the religious and moral standard in America. Ethical views that do not fit within this consensus often go unrecognized as moral values. Similarly, in the realm of sexual orientation, heterosexuality is seen as the yardstick by which sexual practices are measured. The notion that ""alternative"" sexual practices like homosexuality could posse

"In the jargon of pornography, the cumshot is the final shot that depicts the exclusive enjoyment of the male actor. In it, Lili Boisvert sees the perfect illustration of the dominant principle behind heterosexual encounters: the idea that desire is a male phenomenon and women are merely its object. When challenged, adherents of this notion have insisted it was "human nature," or spouted outdated psychological and biological theories, even though these are repeatedly contradicted by factual evidence. On film, on the page, in fashion, and in a host of other areas, female desire is routinely shown as subordinate to male desire - when it isn't suppressed altogether. To change this alienating system, Boisvert contends, we must start by facing it head on. In a series of rebellious, humorous, and well-documented essays, she sketches the contours of what could be true sexual liberation for women."--
