Schaeffer's anthology offers comprehensive and complex history of the sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s.Part I, Mainstream Media and the Sexual Revolution, has three chapters. In Chapter one, Rate It X? Hollywood Cinema and the End of the Production Code, the author examines the transitional period in American film history which consisted of the 1960s to the end of the 1970s. Milliken mainly focuses on films which were made immediately preceding and after the implementation of the rating system through 1973-1974 (26). In chapter two, Williams states that in the late 1960s and early 1970s Hollywood began to devise new tropes for sexual representations after the demise of the Production Code (53). Female sexual pleasure was frequently represented in the willowy body of Jane Fonda in Barbarella (1968) and hardcore pornography discovered fellatio and mainly featured two heterosexual acts-genital sex and oral sex. Levine in The New Sexual Culture of American Television in the 1970s offers an overview of television's translation of the sexual revolution for the American mainstream.Part II, Sex as Art, consists of three chapters.
