The Sex Habits of American Women
Mar 28 – May 7, 2006The Kinsey Report meets Desperate Housewives in this voyeuristic peep into the sex lives of American women during the era of pointy bras and pompadours. A respected male psychotherapist in the '50s is writing a handbook on female sexuality. Meanwhile his wife of 47 years and their unmarried daughter are conducting their own "research." Juxtaposed against this mid-20th Century story is a videotaped interview with a contemporary single mom - a feisty product of women's lib. Bridging 50 years between these moments in social history, these intertwined stories ask provocative questions and take a hard and hilarious look at the unexpected repercussions of the sexual revolution.
