Kammeyer Kenneth C.W. A Hypersexual Society: Sexual Discourse, Erotica, and Pornography in America Today

Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. — 266 p.America today is a hypersexual society. Sexual discourse, erotica, and pornography are pervasive in the culture. Sexual materials, many times extending into erotica and pornography, are found in the consumer world, academia, sex therapy, the publishing world, mass media (especially radio, television and movies) and the Internet. The sexual materials found in all these areas of American society provoke relentless opposition by groups and individuals who want to repress or censor sexual materials. The combined effects of those who promote and produce sexual materials, and those who try to suppress them, add up to a cacophony of sexual discourse.
