Life and career

He has written several books on sexuality, and his book America’s War on Sex, honored as the year’s Best Sexuality Book by AASECT.[citation needed] It documents how the issue of sexual regulation is being used to undermine secular democracy. Klein’s work challenges American society’s (and psychotherapy’s) assumptions about sexuality; he is particularly critical of what he calls the “Sexual Disaster Industry” and the “Oprah-ization” of psychotherapy and medicine.[1] More recently he has spoken out against the criminalization and cruel punishment of teen “sexting.”[2]

Klein has written over 100 articles for publications such as The Journal of Sex Research, San Francisco Medicine, The Journal of Homosexuality, and Contemporary Sexuality, as well as Parents, Playboy, American Baby, Modern Bride, and New Woman.

Klein participates in court cases involving issues such as censorship, obscenity, and sexual expression. Klein has served as an expert witness or invited defendant in federal and state cases.[3][4][5][6][7]

Publications

Klein writes a blog, Sexual Intelligence,[8] and also a monthly on-line newsletter with the same title.[9]
