Description
Object Matters: Condoms, Adolescence and Time by Nicole Vitellone explores how the discourse of safer sex has impacted our lives, particularly among adolescents. The author examines the role of condoms in shaping our awareness of ourselves, others, and our futures. Vitellone critically engages with various literatures on sexuality, adolescence, and the body, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between these topics. This book is relevant to sex educators, academics, and students studying Sociology, History, Cultural Studies, and Gender Studies. By analyzing the history of condom use in the late twentieth century, Vitellone sheds light on how our attitudes towards sex and safety have evolved over time.
