The study of sexuality is both important and controversial. It permeates most aspects of everyday life and is both a hot topic and a taboo subject at the same time. Sexuality Down Under features many aspects of sexuality including: teenage motherhood, sexuality in advertising, sexuality and Pacific peoples, homosexual law reform, the difference between sex and rape, prostitution, the impact of viagra, and lesbian doctors. The book"s final essay examines the "Virgin in a condom" art work which attracted protests wherever it was exhibited. In many of the essays, people have spoken frankly about their sexual preferences and beliefs, something many still find hard to do even in the more liberal society of today. As a result, readers are given a fascinating insight into many of the issues surrounding sexuality in people"s lives.
