Description for Cheap Sex: The Transformation of Men, Marriage, and Monogamy
Hardback. Sex is cheap. This new wide ease of sexual access has been made possible by technology far more than by political or religious shifts.

Reviews for Cheap Sex: The Transformation of Men, Marriage, and Monogamy
This book has the same message as George Gilder's Men and Marriage which came out a couple of decades back... Is this book unduly pessimistic? No, it is quite realistic...and a much needed wake-up call.
