Overview

"In what Gear magazine deemed a ""rich and fascinating portrait of sex in America,"" Eurydice gives us a frontline report on the reality of sex life in the United States -- from ""fringe"" sexual behavior and sex-on-the-Net to how and why sex has changed from a private activity to a public display. With an extraordinary talent for evoking a scene, Eurydice plumbs the strange worlds of cross-dressing conferences, supersized strip emporiums, and sadomasochist gathering spots. She records the surprising sexual adventures of ordinary Americans and introduces such unlikely characters as a former IBM executive who has been cross-dressing since age twelve and a dental assistant who has won fame as a porn star on the Web. Part reportage, part analysis, and part memoir, Satyricon USA is an unforgettable reading experience, catching a society in the throes of redefining its sexual mores."
