Sexology Uncensored - The Documents of Sexual Science (Paperback, 2nd ed.)

"Sexology Uncensored" brings together, for the first time, many of the key documents of the modern science of sexuality that emerged in the late nineteenth century. The early pioneers of the new field of sexology examined and classified sexual behaviors, identities, and relations. For years much of the material here has been "censored" in the sense that it is difficult to obtain, subject to restrictive circulation, or available only in medical archives. The extracts (which date from the 1880s to the 1940s) cover a variety of topics including gender and sexual difference; homosexuality; transsexuality and bisexuality; heterosexuality; marriage and sex manuals; reproductive control; eugenics; race; and various sexual proclivities.
Offering readers access to the primary materials on which contemporary sexology is founded, "Sexology Uncensored" is an invaluable record for all those interested in how we have come to think about sex and sexuality over the last hundred years.
"Sexology in Culture" and its companion "Sexology Uncensored" will interest all those concerned with understanding modern sexual discourse in its historical context.
