About the book: year / The book examines the genesis and transformation of the sociology of sexuality in our country in the context of similar processes unfolding in the West. Such topical topics for today's Russia as the loss of monopoly control over sexuality by marriage, the expansion of the zone of “parallel” erotic practices for couples (including illegitimate ones) and much more are analyzed in detail. Based on data from unique sociological surveys, the author reconstructs a largely sensational picture of the dynamics of changes in sexual morality in Russia.
