Sex is at the very heart of life, and this classic illustrated
study of sex, its nature and function, and its influence on art,
science, architecture and religion contains a wealth of information
on sex beliefs, practices and worship in other cultures and periods
of history stretching back to ancient times. Drawing on a wide
range of sources including private collections of erotica, Wall
shows how people in other times and places have dealt with the
timeless themes of sexuality, male, female, love, passion, lust,
desire and worship, dealing with sex as a private practice and also
as public celebration. This edition first published in 2006.
Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa
company.
This text, "A Scientific Treatise on Sex, its Nature and Function,

cosmology and sex, sex in the Greek Bible, artistic representations
of sexuality, phallic worship and virgin worship. The book provides
insights not only into sexual life throughout the ages but also

current when the book was first published in 1919.
