✦ Synopsis

How do young people today construct their sexual identities? Are young people sexually liberated, or is human sexuality increasingly controlled and manipulated by commercial forces? Thomas Johansson explores the construction of sexual identities by young people as part of a wider process of identity construction, combining the work of key authors such as Elias and Foucault with original and revealing empirical material drawn from an extensive extensive survey of the views of 1300 sixteen to nineteen year olds. The topics covered include; fidelity and infidelity, love, homosexuality, pornography and beauty ideals. Designed to look behind media images and popular prejudices the book adds insight to the literature on how young people of both genders, of different nationalities and of different group allegiances view and relate to their own sexuality.
