Informative and Riveting

I really am finding myself wondering about this book. Sex, Drugs, and Radical Self Expression are mostly viewed as controversial outlets that people embark down, from society's viewpoint. But from the point of view of the "user" in question, they are often journeying down these paths for a means of self-fulfillment as the cover suggests. I'd be really interested to see who this book is told from the lens of: the outsiders looking in judging by the hour, or those undergoing stressful situations seeking some reprieve from an "addictive" outlet. Based off the cover, that's really what I'm grasping at this time.
