Curious about what Canadians are doing between the sheets?

Sex in Canada pulls the covers off Canadians’ sex lives, examining what we do, how often, and with whom. Written by an expert on the sociology of sexuality, this book reveals Canadians’ sexual behaviour using a one-of-a-kind social science survey of Canadian adults. It gives us a glimpse into our bedrooms, breaking through myths about our sexuality with frank talk, solid data, and a sense of humour.
