Summary:	'Teaching Moral Sex' is a comprehensive study focusing on the role of religion in the history of public sex education in the United States. It examines religious contributions to national sex education organizations from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, highlighting issues of public health, public education, family, and the role of the state. It details how public sex education was created through the collaboration of religious sex educators - primarily liberal Protestants, along with some Catholics and Reform Jews - with 'men of science,' namely, physicians, biology professors, and social scientists.
