Abstract
Excerpt - The old U.S. Army aphorism “If the army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one” is a common refrain in the chapters of this edited collection, but the contributors do not limit themselves to this traditional understanding of how the military regulated the sexual relations of service members. Managing Sex analyzes how the U.S. military regulates the sexual lives of service members and their families, from attempts to control venereal disease to women's service in the military and relaxation of prohibitions on service by members of the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus) community. Chapters on sexual violence highlight the challenges of integrating women into the armed forces and managing relations with local communities.
