The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn – where anything goes and only consent matters – are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be read by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook narrated by the author.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eLouise Perry \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer and long-time campaigner against sexual violence.
