SEXPLOSION

From Andy Warhol to a Clockwork Orange - How a Generation of Pop Rebels Broke All the Taboos

Between 1968 and 1973, more sexual taboos were challenged than ever before in history.  Barriers were broken in film, literature, theater and television that were previously unthinkable, and the country's concept of sexual liberation was shaken to it's core. Sexplosion explores both the chain of events and the forces involved in influencing the public, both for and against the new ways of sexual expression.

Sexplosion by Robert Hofler received a starred review from Booklist: "Hofler describes in often strong language and with considerable wit what was unmistakably a new cultural realty and moral perspective in America and Britain. Although his epilogue seems superfluous, he otherwise makes his case compellingly. This is readable and enjoyable popular history for younger adult readers and deeply resonant nostalgia for the boomers who came of age during this heady half decade."
