The Sexual World of the Arabian Nights (Paperback)

From the stories of wives and their lovers to those of kings and
their conquests, to the overarching story of Shahrazad and
Shahryar, the tales of the Arabian Nights have offered countless
audiences entertainment and enjoyment as well as serving as
cautionary stories. An outstanding piece of world literature, the
Arabian Nights provide a lively and interesting way of exploring
aspects of sexuality, romance, gender, culture, wealth, and
politics. Looking at a wide range of the tales, David Ghanim offers
a rigorous exploration of their profound sexuality: looking at both
the context in which they were written and organised, as well as
their legacy. By including accounts of heterosexuality,
homosexuality, cuckoldry, insatiable lust, promiscuity, rape,
incest, bestiality, demonic sexuality, and erotica, Ghanim
highlights the complexity and dynamism of medieval sexuality, the
active role of women in sexual activities, and the prevailing
positive outlook on sexual liaison and gender mixing.
