This is a work of academic anthropology, not a book published for a popular audience. I have a work-related reason to want to know more about academic anthropology and the writing styles of professors who write about sexuality, so I borrowed this book through inter-library loan. The book is well researched, densely packed with information about other studies, and interspersed with the author's own interviews with research subjects.
I feel educated on the subject, but more importantly for my purposes, it helped me have a much clearer understanding of how the personal and the research are intertwined in an academic anthropology text of this sort.
I wouldn't recommend this book to a general reader unless that reader has a particular academic interest in anthropology and sexuality.
