The Great American Lay: An All Too Brief History of Sex

By Tom McBride

Who was the great American Othello-riven by sexual jealousy? Is "gaydar" realty or myth? Who was "Prok" and how did he transform American sex? Why do some Americans do it with beasts-or cars? Why did many American Puritans have a more permissive policy towards abortion than many Americans do today? How did the plow, the light bulb, and the automobile revolutionize American sex? Who was the President who did things the hard way? Why did elite Americans once declare biological war on "morons"? Where could you find Lady Godiva with her pajamas on? In 60 astonishingly true chapters Tom McBride traces the history of American sex from colonial times to the present-revealing its quirks, comedies, tragedies-and links with nearly everything else in the mosaic of American life. Animated and instructive, this is a sexual history like no other.
