It is often unmentioned and sometimes only implied, but sex provided much of the charge that infused post-war youth culture. This collection seeks to locate the sex in the well-known trilogy of 'sex & drugs & rock 'n' roll'. From the masculine swagger of the Teds to the sensual fetishization of all things Goth, the essays here locate the sexual performance and implications of British youth culture in the context of post-war history. By looking at how sex and sexuality were expressed, presented and received, the collection shows youth culture to be crucial to the changes and challenges that informed British society into the late twentieth century.
