Foreword
Although Americans appear to the rest of the world as frank and open people, the truth is often the opposite when it comes to relating on an individual basis. This is particularly true when it comes to sexual matters.
The fact is, Americans are only now learning to discuss sex and sexuality with candor, and usually that is within the limits of marital sex.
While no one is advocating sex as the main topic of conversation, many people harbor fears about themselves and their sexual behavior that could be erased if they were more aware of other people's behavior. It is frequently reassuring to discover that we are not different, naughty, or even perverted in our sexual practices. In discussing sex with others, people find out how truly normal they are.
The Jones family, and the daughter Fanny in particular, finds this out through the help of their neighbors. In discovering that they are not so different in their desires, the family opens itself up to a way of life that is freer and brings them closer together.
THE FAMILY EATS OUT is the story of an average family who embark on a new lifestyle, one that they feel is best for them.
