Sex And Leisure Promiscuous Perspectives | Sport & Leisure

This book uses the emerging and cutting-edge area of leisure research to highlight the importance of sexuality and sexual activity and its relevance to leisure studies. It brings to the fore some complex issues associated with this topic using a range of substantive epistemological theoretical and methodological approaches. Drawing on international scholarship the book examines sexuality from multiple and at times competing directions exploring the continuum of sex from work through to carnal pleasure and across specific sexual practices including BDSM pornography stripping and sex work. Drawing on critical feminist queer and post theoretical perspectives the book charts a new direction for leisure studies and sex research including diverse understandings of leisure practice sex positivity fringe and deviant sex practices. Critically the book moves beyond merely establishing sex as a leisure pursuit to focusing on the compelling and complex intersections between sexuality and leisure. This is fascinating reading for any student or researcher with an interest in leisure sexuality gender cultural studies or sociology. |Sex and Leisure Promiscuous Perspectives | Sport & Leisure
