A sociological survey of all things sex related in Canadian culture.

What do we do in the bedroom? How often? Who with? Movies and the internet seem saturated in sex, but it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction, and real talk about our own sexual lives can feel uncomfortable. Sex in Canada pulls the covers off, breaking through myths with frank talk and hard facts. Tina Fetner delves into sex among singles and couples; marriage and monogamy; hooking up and committed relationships. Guided by the results of her one-of-a-kind survey of adults aged eighteen to ninety, she shows us how the social forces that shape Canadian’s lives also influence their sexual behavior, reflecting the patterns of the broader world. In applying the tools of social science to a formerly taboo topic, Sex in Canada offers the most accurate picture to date—not just of Canadians’ sex lives, but of why they do what they do and with whom.
