Famously permissive San Francisco, home of the counterculture revolution 40 years ago, might seem an odd choice for a giant Christian youth rally that its organizers dubbed a "reverse rebellion" against the excesses of pop culture. But sex and drugs were most emphatically not included with the rock 'n' roll at San Francisco's AT&T Park this past weekend, when some 25,000 screeching teens attended what amounted to a Lollapalooza for the Lord...
...three-city tour isn't just for teens to celebrate their faith by listening to biblically inspired music that rocks - though that is certainly a big part of it. Organizers say they're also sending a message to the outside world that these teens are sick of the sex, drugs and violence that permeates their culture. Teen Mania Ministries, the Texas-based group that is organizing the tour, says that teens see 14,000 sexual scenes on TV each year, and another 10,000 rapes, assaults and murders. Some 90% of 8-to-16-year-olds have been exposed...
...some scholars disagree about the need to present porn in class. In Sex and the Law, a senior seminar given by Paul Abramson, a psychology professor at UCLA, the screening of Inside Deep Throat, a documentary about the making of the notorious '70s porno film, is optional.

Then he screened a film featuring the porn star Annie Sprinkle having sex with a transgendered man and another showing female ejaculation. To her surprise, Reich was shocked. "I realized I do have my biases about what is a man and what is a woman--I mean, I grew up in the Midwest--and it made me want to explore these stereotypes and get past...
...Five Women Over Forty (Doubleday) takes on myths of maturing women with an impressive roster of writers. Joyce Maynard explores middle-aged dating: "The higher the income a man reports, the more likely he is to set his sights on younger women." Ellen Sussman meditates on the joys of sex: "I love sex. I love middle-age sex. I love married sex. I'm almost 50, and I've never felt sexier. But damn, it took a long time to get here." Lolly Winston shares her personal experience with in vitro fertilization: "I'm caught up in the urgency...
