some of the interview excerpts in _Cheap Sex_

Regnerus’ book is based on national survey statistics and in-depth interviews with subjects in a number of different locations in the US (see pp. 13-14). The interview data give you a sense of how actual individuals describe what’s happening to them in the sexual marketplace.
