ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews some ongoing themes of the work and relates this previous discussion to the debate about the nature of public and private spheres of life. This includes a discussion of myths of the city as the space of sex, and the threats and promises contained in this mythology. Ideas of sexual propriety and the spatial implications of these ideas are examined, in order to suggest that shifts in the terrain of everyday life demand corresponding shifts in concepts of propriety (Hallam 1993; Califia 1994; Bell and Valentine 1995).
