What did sex mean for ordinary people before the sexual revolution
of the 1960s and 1970s, who were often pitied by later generations
as repressed, unfulfilled and full of moral anxiety? This book
provides the first rounded, first-hand account of sexuality in
marriage in the early and mid-twentieth century. These
award-winning authors look beyond conventions of silence among the
respectable majority to challenge stereotypes of ignorance and
inhibition. Based on vivid, compelling and frank testimonies from a
socially and geographically diverse range of individuals, the book
explores a spectrum of sexual experiences, from learning about sex
and sexual practices in courtship, to attitudes to the body,
marital ideals and birth control. It demonstrates that while the
era's emphasis on silence and strict moral codes could for some be
a source of inhibition and dissatisfaction, for many the culture of
privacy and innocence was central to fulfilling and pleasurable
intimate lives.
