But the sex the girls were having--or the lack thereof--seemed disappointing, and their stories didn't make the book's final cut. A decade later, young Americans are having less sex than past generations, and the sex they \u003ci\u003eare \u003c\/i\u003ehaving is infinitely more complicated. Sherman, who has spent years traveling the country reporting on gender and sexuality, wanted to find out why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on more than one hundred interviews with teenagers and young adults, activists, and experts, \u003ci\u003eThe Second Coming \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how (mis)education, the internet, and politics have not only reshaped relationships but also unleashed a nationwide power struggle over the future of sex. From abortion clinics crowded with young patients, to \"Dating with Dignity\" seminars at the National Pro-Life Summit, to school board battles over what students should read, think, and feel, we meet folks from both sides of the aisle who are well-informed, empowered, and active (even if not always sexually). And as measures are taken to limit Americans' access to rights and resources, they are fighting back. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the tradition of Rebecca Traister and Lisa Taddeo, \u003ci\u003eThe Second Coming\u003c\/i\u003e explores how the ballot box has infiltrated the bedroom, and the breaking point as a nation we've reached as a result.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarter Sherman is a podcast host and reporter at \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e.
