Description:
When it comes to sex, Americans are extremely ambivalent -- simultaneously obsessed with it and afraid of it. Widespread sexual eccentricity coexists with puritanical hysteria about sex in movies, on television, and in the Oval Office. Satyricon USA is a front-line report on the reality of sex life in America -- from "fringe" sexual behavior and sex-on-the-net to why sex has changed from a private activity to a public display.

With an extraordinary talent for evoking a scene, Eurydice plumbs the strange worlds of cross-dressing conferences, supersized strip emporiums, and S/M gathering spots. She records the sometimes surprising sexual adventures of ordinary. Americans, and introduces such unlikely characters as a former IBM executive who has been cross-dressing since age twelve and a dental assistant who has won fame as a porn star on the Web. Part reportage, part analysis, and part memoir, Satyricon USA is an unforgettable reading experience, catching a society in the throes of redefining its sexual mores.
