America Unzipped: In Search of Sex and Satisfaction

Award-winning journalist Brian Alexander, the man behind MSNBC.com’s popular “Sexploration” column, was confused: in an era where conservative family values dominate, why were his readers writing in with very uninhibited, very unusual, very kinky queries? To find out what people are really doing behind closed doors, Alexander set out on a sexual safari in modern America. Whether mixing it up at a convention of fetishists, interviewing online porn entrepreneurs, or learning the surprising ways of Biblical sex from an evangelical preacher, Alexander uses humor and insight to reveal a sexual world that is quickly redefining the phrase “polite society.” Gonzo journalism at its funniest and kinkiest, America Unzipped is a fascinating cultural study and an eye-popping peek into America’s sex life, starring people you’d never expect to find between the covers.
