(Many liberals will be horrified to hear that two-thirds of Americans think creationism should be taught alongside evolution in science classes.) Forget aggressively raunchy shows like Sex and the City or Temptation Island.

If we follow this pattern, then in the decades to come we’ll experience a new wave of sexual progress. Historical patterns lead me to believe that the Neo-conservative, sexually repressive current state of affairs will give way to a second sexual revolution, in which we learn all sorts of new kinky facts about our fellow Americans...
