Sex in Canada by Tina Fetner

Thursday, April 04, 2024 6:30 PM
The Spaniel's Tale Bookstore, 1131 Wellington St. W., Ottawa

Let's talk about sex! Movies and the internet seem saturated in sex, but it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction. Join author Tina Fetner for a real talk about the real sex lives of Canadians.

Sex in Canada pulls the covers off, breaking through myths with frank talk and hard facts about Canadians’ sexual practices. Guided by the results of a one-of-a-kind survey of adults aged eighteen to ninety – and infusing her findings with a sense of humour – Tina Fetner delves into sex among singles and couples, marriage and monogamy, hooking up and committed relationships, cheating, desire, risk, and pleasure. A formerly taboo topic, Sex in Canada offers the most up-to-date picture not just of Canadians’ sex lives, but of why we act the way we do.

Tina Fetner is a professor of sociology at McMaster University. She is the author of How the Religious Right Shaped Lesbian and Gay Activism and has published in Gender & Society, Archives of Sexual Behavior, and Men & Masculinities. Fetner has served as president of the Canadian Sociological Association and is currently co-chair of the Canadian regional chapter of Sociologists for Women in Society.

This is a free event, however, your RSVP is appreciated. Doors open at 6:30, event begins around 6:45pm.
