Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The Sexual Organization of the City is billed as a sort of academic 'Sex in the City' - though one that examines a more diverse slice of metropolitan life. Over three years, sociologist Edward O. Laumann and his colleagues questioned 2,114 people in four Chicago neighborhoods on everything from how many partners they'd had in their lives and where they met them to whether they were cheating.... The result is yet another glimpse of American sexual paradoxes." - Christopher Shea, Boston Globe "You don't have to be David Mamet to know that the typical Chicagoan's intense interest in real estate borders on the sexual. And now comes University of Chicago sociologist Edward O. Laumann to tell us that the reverse is also true: Neighborhoods play a critical role in how we choose partners for brief sexual encounters and long-term engagements." - Stephanie B. Goldberg, Chicago" Read more...
