Martin, Chair Professor Kerwin Lee Klein Professor Linda Williams Spring 2014 Copyright 2014 by Joseph Lam Duong Abstract California Hard Core by Joseph Lam Duong Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Waldo E. Martin, Chair California Hard Core is a narrative history of the pornographic film industry in California from 1967 to 1978, a moment when Americans openly made, displayed, and watched sexually explicit films. Two interrelated questions animate this project: Who moved the pornographic film from the margins of society to the mainstream of American film culture? What do their stories tell us about sex and sexuality in the U.S. in the last third of the twentieth century? The earlier academic literature concentrates on pornographic film and political debates surrounding it rather than industry participants and their contexts. The popular literature, meanwhile, is composed almost entirely of book-length oral histories and autobiographies of filmmakers and models. California Hard Core helps to close the divide between these two literatures by documenting not only an eye-level view of work from behind the camera, on the set, and in the movie theater, but also the ways in which consumers received pornographic films, placing the reader in the viewing position of audience members, police officers, lawyers, judges, and anti-pornography activists.

  • Sexual Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Female Undergraduate Students in Wuhan, China: the Only- Child Versus Students with Siblings
    Sexual Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Female Undergraduate Students in Wuhan, China: The Only- Child versus Students with Siblings Shiyue Li1,2, Rucheng Chen1,2, Yue Cao1,2, Jingjing Li1,2, Dan Zuo1,2, Hong Yan1,2* 1 School of Public Health of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, P.R. of China, 2 Globe Health Center of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, P.R. of China Abstract Objectives: This study explored sexual knowledge, attitudes and practices of female only-child undergraduates and made a comparison with students with siblings. Methods: Anonymously completed questionnaires were received from 4,769 female undergraduates, recruited using randomized cluster sampling by type of university and students’ major and grade. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effects of only-child on sexual knowledge, attitudes and practices among female undergraduates. Results: Of 4,769 female undergraduate students, 41.0% were only-child and 59.0% were students with siblings. Compared with students with siblings, only-child students scored higher on sex-related knowledge, were more inclined to agree with premarital sex, multiple sex partners, one-night stands, extramarital lovers and homosexuality, and were more likely to have a boyfriend and experience sexual intercourse (73.6% vs. 61.4%; 24.0% vs. 14.0%). Only-children were less likely to experience coercion at first sex and have first sexual intercourse with men not their ‘‘boyfriends’’ than children with siblings (3.3% vs. 6.4%; 20.7% vs. 28.8%). There were no significant differences on other risky sexual behaviors (e.g. multiple sex partners and inconsistent condom use) between the only-child students and students with siblings.

  • A Victorian Christmas
    Learning @ Jersey Heritage A Victorian Christmas No era in history however, has influenced the way in which we celebrate Christmas, quite as much as the Victorians. Before Queen Victoria’s reign started in 1837 nobody in Britain had heard of Santa Claus or Christmas Crackers. No Christmas cards were sent and most people did not have holidays from work. The wealth and technologies generated by the industrial revolution of the Victorian era changed the face of Christmas forever. Charles Dickens wrote a book ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843, which actually encouraged rich Victorians to give money and gifts to the poor. Queen Victoria and her family encouraged people to adopt a high moral tone. Charitable works by the wealthy and church going for all were an important part of Victorian life. The Christmas service was traditionally held in the Parish or village church with a Nativity scene often prominently displayed near the altar and the church decked out with greenery and candles. The whole family and all the members of their household were called by the pealing of the bells and carols were sung during the special Christmas service. Although most people did not stop work until Christmas Eve, the traditional Victorian Christmas began with the making of the Advent wreath from ivy, laurel and holly and four candles, one to be lit on each of the four Sundays of Advent symbolizing faith, joy, love and peace. They may also have made an Advent calendar, with windows to be opened daily until Christmas Eve. The custom of 26 December as "Boxing Day” also originated during the Victorian era.

  • What If I Never Have Sex Again?
    What If I Never Have Sex Again? by Susan Moon I’m afraid I’ll never have sex again. Never lie spoon to spoon with another person. I don’t feel like having sex right this minute, which is fortunate because I don’t have anybody to have it with. But I’m not sure I’ll keep on not wanting to have sex right this minute for the rest of my life. When I was younger and didn’t have a partner, I didn’t think about this. I assumed I was in between relationships. Now, at 65, I wonder if I have quietly passed beyond “in between.” Even if I did want to have sex, maybe nobody would want to have sex with me. Confidence ebbs away as skin sags in private as well as public places. I suppose you could always resort to the cover of darkness, or never taking off your nightie, but can’t fingers still feel the sag? Couples who grow old together get used to each other’s sagging in slow increments, but it’s a whole other matter to get to know somebody new when you’re already wrinkled up. Plus, I’m not as bendable as I used to be. I used to like sex a lot if I liked the person, but when I didn’t have it, I didn’t miss it much. Sometimes I missed the person. Saying I miss sex is like saying I miss wearing my hiking boots, when what I miss is standing at Paiute Pass watching the cloud shadows run across the lake below.
