Sexplosion: From Andy Warhol to A Clockwork Orange—

Robert Hofler
Reviewed by Jed Ocot

A provocative look into the years between 1968 and 1973 when pop culture lost all inhibitions and challenged sexual taboos. Sexual expression ran rampant in films like Andy Warhol’s Chelsea Girls and books such as The Joy of Sex by Alex Comfort. Many of these works surprisingly centered on gay themes, and artists like Larry Kramer and Gore Vidal helped pave the way during this era of liberation.
