Sex and Punishment tells the story of the struggle throughout
millennia to regulate the most powerful engine of human behaviour:
sex. From the savage impalement of an Ancient Mesopotamian
adulteress to the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde for `gross indecency'
in 1895, Eric Berkowitz evokes the entire sweep of Western sex law.
The cast of Sex and Punishment is as varied as the forms taken by
human desire itself: royal mistresses, gay charioteers, medieval
transvestites, lonely goat-lovers, prostitutes of all stripes and
London rent boys. Each of them had forbidden sex, and each was
judged - and justice, as Berkowitz shows - rarely had anything to
do with it.
