Synopsis

Our society is undergoing an evolution, and we should take this as a call to action to ensure that all people, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, ethnicity, race, religion, or social class, are treated as humans worthy of respect.

Good Sexual Citizenship asks us all to break down sexual hostility and build up something better. To promote understanding and empathy, Friedrichs includes a factual and historical backdrop covering gender disparities, women's rights, sexual violence, prevention, and sex education, and challenges readers to use this insight, along with guided exercises, to examine their own potential for "good sexual citizenship." Covering topics like consent, sexual assault, pleasure, double standards, casual sex, hook-up culture, and teen sex, she provides us with tools to navigate societal messages, sexually hostile climates, stereotypes, and outdated mentalities.

This book is written for anyone—but especially educators, parents, fellow students, coworkers, and employers—who have helplessly looked around in the midst of some type of sexual injustice wondering, "What can I do?"

Contains mature themes.

Good Sexual Citizenship encompasses a range of subjects, from the sexism at the root of American society to how that impacts people's individual sex lives.

Goodreads review by R on October 20, 2024

This book was an interesting book because it explored sexuality in society and explored how we could do better as an individual. I enjoyed the pieces of it, but the best chapter was by far the last chapter. The last chapter also gave me a better idea of why I enjoy shame in kink.......more
