...public release of the "Flynt Report," an 84-page, advertisement-free expose of the alleged sinful sex lives of our nation's Republican politicians. Beginning last October with his million-dollar bounty for Republican dirt, Flynt "Report" is the consummation of his vow to defend President Clinton from Sexual McCarthyism.

A section titled "The Hidden Side of Women's Short-Term Sexuality," which elaborates on such topics as what women stand to gain from "casual sex as one strategy within a flexible sexual repertoire," gives the lie to Ehrenreich's claim that evolutionary psychologists have been "fooled" into believing myths of female chastity. Ehrenreich might be more comfortable in a debate between...
