This original book brings a fascinating and accessible new account
of the tumultuous history of sexuality in Europe from the waning of
Victorianism to the collapse of Communism and the rise of European
Islam. Although the twentieth century is often called the century
of sex and seen as an era of increasing liberalization, Dagmar
Herzog instead emphasizes the complexities and contradictions in
sexual desires and behaviours, the ambivalences surrounding sexual
freedom, and the difficulties encountered in securing sexual
rights. Incorporating the most recent scholarship on a broad range
of conceptual problems and national contexts, the book investigates
the shifting fortunes of marriage and prostitution, contraception
and abortion, queer and straight existence. It analyzes sexual
violence in war and peace, the promotion of sexual satisfaction in
fascist and democratic societies, the role of eugenics and
disability, the politicization and commercialization of sex, and
processes of secularization and religious renewal.
