Abstract
Our generation has seen a flood of works dealing with human sexual behavior; the subject was far from dead even before the appearance of the monumental Kinsey reports. The consensus of scholars is that sexual morality is in a transition "marked by a steady decline of the ascetic tradition and the rise of biological realism as a counter-movement." The conventional "puritanistic" tradition is often identified, justifiably or otherwise, with the Judeo-Christian standards of sex. One marriage counselor has gone so far as to sate that no competent scholar can remain a "dogmatic follower of any...religious faith," and many other silently support a similar viewpoint.
