Abstrakt:
This paper is concerned with sexuality in 1950s America. It examines sexual and social conduct, sex education, gender roles, and the role of the state. Authors have described many aspects of human sexuality over the centuries, but in twentieth-century America many important changes took place. The main themes such as promiscuity, premarital sex and homosexuality, are brought into focus through an exploration of the Jack Kerouac novel On the Road.
