A Brutal Feel-up Session with Today's Sex-Crazed Adolescent Populace  

A report from the American hook-up culture, published by MTV Books when Marty Beckerman was a college junior, Generation S.L.U.T. takes the reader undercover and under the covers. Filled with statistics, news reports and confessions from real teenagers nationwide—as well as a fictional novella tying it all together—the book uniquely combines heartbreak and hilarity.
