A new sexual revolution in health, diversity, and rights
Article Abstract:
A third sexual revolution has been identified, following in the footsteps of the Women's Emancipation Movement of the 1920s and 1930s and the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. Communication developments play a key role in the latest revolution, with the Internet at the fore; similarly, the availability of contraception and developments in reproductive technology have boosted self-determination of reproductive activity.
