Sex has no history, but sexual science does. Starting in the late
nineteenth century, people all over the world suddenly began to
insist that understandings of sex be based on science. As Japanese
and Indian sexologists influenced their German and American
counterparts, and vice versa, sexuality, modernity, and imaginings
of exotified "Others" became intimately linked. The first anthology
to provide a worldwide perspective on the birth and development of
the field, A Global History of Sexual Science contends that actors
outside of Europe-in Asia, Latin America, and Africa-became
important interlocutors in debates on prostitution, birth control,
and transvestism. Ideas circulated through intellectual exchange,
travel, and internationally produced and disseminated publications.
Twenty scholars tackle specific issues, including the female orgasm
and the criminalization of male homosexuality, to demonstrate how
concepts and ideas introduced by sexual scientists gained currency
throughout the modern world.
