Originally published in 1977. For centuries myth, misinformation
and taboo have distorted our vision of our sexual nature. This book
examines such cultural phenomena: from Greek dualistic thought to
Buddhist philosophy; from the attempt of early Christian sects to
promote total chastity to homosexual practices among the Arabs. It
explains Victorian theories about masturbation and madness, sexist
dogmas limiting feminine potential, social attitudes towards
abortion over time; and much more. Extensively researched, this
fascinating classic work is a comprehensive summary of our
knowledge of past sexual attitudes as well as an appraisal of the
causes and direction of sexual revolution.
