Acknowledgments

I want to thank several people (despite the fact that some of them are no longer living) for their invaluable help and inspiration. Some of them assisted me with research, some engaged in lively debate with me, others were willing to share intimate parts of their experience which hopefully infused my politics with some compassion, some are my heroes because of their choice to live as sexual outlaws, despite the penalties for being out on the erotic frontier, others gave me work that allowed me to keep on writing, and some of them simply loved me (albeit for varying amounts of time). If I have left anyone out, it is because of poor memory, not a lack of gratitude. All conclusions, opinions, and errors in the book remain my own responsibility.

Foreword to the Second Edition

[2000]

Since the 1994 publication of the first edition of Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex, Ive continued to study the political issues that arise around human sexuality and gender, and (of course) write about them. Ive also had the pleasure of seeing my own thinking about some of these topics grow and change. Whether to revise the present volume or simply wait to compile a second collection of essays was a real dilemma. Given the popularity of this book and its frequent use in womens studies and queer studies classrooms, it seemed important to update
