Wade, post-#MeToo America—and how the challenges they face are harbingers of what’s coming for the rest of us.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;As a college student, award-winning journalist Carter Sherman, along with several members of her sorority, was interviewed by a writer looking for salacious details about their sex lives. But the sex the girls were having—or the lack thereof—seemed disappointing, and their stories didn’t make the book’s final cut. A decade later, young Americans are having less sex than past generations, and the sex they \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;are \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;having is infinitely more complicated. Sherman, who has spent years traveling the country reporting on gender and sexuality, wanted to find out why. \u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Based on more than one hundred interviews with teenagers and young adults, activists, and experts, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Second Coming \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;reveals how (mis)education, the internet, and politics have not only reshaped relationships but also unleashed a nationwide power struggle over the future of sex. From abortion clinics crowded with young patients, to “Dating with Dignity” seminars at the National Pro-Life Summit, to school board battles over what students should read, think, and feel, we meet folks from both sides of the aisle who are well-informed, empowered, and active (even if not always sexually). And as measures are taken to limit Americans’ access to rights and resources, they are fighting back.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In the tradition of Rebecca Traister and Lisa Taddeo, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Second Coming\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; explores how the ballot box has infiltrated the bedroom, and the breaking point as a nation we’ve reached as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47085019267241,"sku":"PHBK-9781668052457","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/24742583482781.jpg?v=1779376357","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9781668052457","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
