Synopsis
"Theres a great history of racy entertainment covering itself, if scantily, in a cloak of righteous education. Kat Long describes these protective measures, or ruses...Long also chronicles the way that initiatives to eradicate vice only helped pave the way for its further evolution in the city."-- New York Times Book Review " Kat] Long covers the great upheavals that have pushed the advantage in the sex wars one way or the other..."-- Village Voice "Long's The Forbidden Apple is a fast-paced and vivid overview documenting the conflicts between evangelical moralists and defenders of sexual expression, commercial and otherwise. Anyone interested in New York City or sex will have to pick this up."-- Timothy Gilfoyle , author, City of Eros and A Pickpocket's Tale "Long has provided a fascinating overview of sex in New York City since the Civil War. Everything you always wanted to know--and a lot you would never have suspected "-- Kevin Baker , author of Strivers Row , Paradise Alley and Dreamland The Forbidden Apple: A Century of Sex & Sin in New York City reveals the endless battle between outlaw sex and moral righteousness that has been fought on the streets of America's most licentious city. Beginning with Gilded Age New York, where upper-class men of society routinely slummed with prostitutes and burlesque dancers--then wrote scathing condemnations of the "Lost Sisterhood" for the next day's papers--and ending with Rudolph Guiliani's crackdown on the city's sexual life, The Forbidden Apple details the major trends in New York's sexual history, including the Victorian-era battles over prostitution; the women's movement at the turn of the twentieth century; the hedonistic roaring twenties; the rise of Times Square as the city's sexual epicenter in the 1940s and 1950s; the birth of the gay rights movement in the 1960s; the decadence and pornography of the 1970s, and the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. The first-ever comprehensive sexual history of New York City, The Forbidden Apple shows how many of this country's most important sexual trends got their start in New York, and also demonstrates how the repressive forces of morality and decency have waged war against the forces of sexual liberation and freedom throughout the city's history., "Theres a great history of racy entertainment covering itself, if scantily, in a cloak of righteous education.
