In this book Hera Cook traces the path of sexuality in England, and
shows how its route was determined by the gradual exertion of
control over fertility. Most sexual activity had major economic and
social costs, the most fundamental of which was the physical cost
of children upon women's bodies. Around 1800 birth rates reached
historical heights. Using a combination of demographic and
qualitative sources, Dr Cook examines the connection between the
struggle to lower fertility and the increasing repression of
sexuality throughout the nineteenth century. Contraception became a
viable option in the early twentieth century. The book charts the
resulting slow relaxation of attitudes to sexuality and the
remaking of heterosexual physical behaviour, culminating in the
sexual revolution of the 1960s.
