A Curious History of Sex - Kate Lister - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
The fundamental nature of sexual activity hasn't altered since humans first discovered its mechanics. However, the social and cultural perceptions of sex have greatly evolved over time. Unlike other animals, humans attach stigma to certain sexual behaviors, making sex a contentious topic worldwide. Although societal attitudes may continue to shift, sex will remain fraught with stigma and embarrassment unless we understand its historical context. "A Curious History of Sex," inspired by the popular "Whores of Yore" research project, showcases Dr. Kate Lister's deep expertise in the history of sexuality, all delivered with her characteristic humor and insight. The book covers topics ranging from medieval impotence trials to bizarre twentieth-century tales of testicle theft, and from the risqué murals of ancient Pompeii to contemporary sex doll establishments. By delving into these subjects, Kate challenges long-held myths and stereotypes, providing a candid exploration of the sexual past. This intriguing work is filled with unusual and enlightening historical slang and features captivating, sometimes shocking, images sourced from history. Readers will find themselves laughing, cringing, and reflecting on just how much, or how little, has changed over the years.
