new book

[xsecx]

from what I've read/heard this is interesting if you like sociology and want to read an academic treatement of straight edge. otherwise, don't bother.

It looks to be a good one.

but they bring in that sexual responsibility aspect tied in with sxe


Its basic tenets promote a drug-free, tobacco-free, and sexually responsible lifestyle tenets...

though they make a correction further:


For many straight-edge kids, however, being clean and sober was (and still is) the ultimate expression of resistance - resistance to the consumerist and self-indulgent ethos that defines mainstream U.S. culture.

Hopefully the author makes it clear that "sexually responsible lifestyle tenet" is quite optional.
