This collection seeks to locate the sex in the well-known trilogy of ‘sex & drugs & rock ‘n’ roll’. By looking at how sex and sexuality were expressed, presented and received, the collection shows youth culture to be crucial to the changes and challenges that informed British society into the late twentieth century.
