Roach (Happily Ever After), a gender and cultural studies professor at the University of Alabama, delivers a thorough 鈥渕anisexto鈥� on changing sexual norms. Roach argues that young adults have a more equitable understanding of sex than previous generations and points out where there鈥檚 room for improvement. She posits that 鈥済ood sex鈥� accounts for the needs of one鈥檚 partners and might resemble the release of 鈥渟piritual ecstasy.鈥� Sidebars quote students from Roach鈥檚 Sexuality and Society course, relating their perspectives on consent, as well as anecdotes about navigating hookup culture and the 鈥渙rgasm gap,鈥� or the privileging of the man鈥檚 orgasm over the woman鈥檚 in heterosexual couplings. Roach emphasizes equity throughout and discusses the need to appreciate bodies that are not 鈥渇it, abled, youthful, and light-skinned鈥� and to rewrite gender scripts to be more accepting of emotional expression in men and desire for sex in women. The student quotes capture a panoramic view of how Generation Z thinks about sex, with Roach鈥檚 analysis expertly distilling the social forces driving their anecdotes and opinions. The result is a perceptive volume on the contemporary culture of sex.
