The History of Sexuality: 1: The Will to Knowledge (Penguin Modern Classics) Book

'A brilliant display of fireworks, attacking the widespread and banal notion that "in the beginning" sexual activity was guilt-free and delicious, being repressed and blighted only by the gloom of Victorianism' SpectatorWe talk about sex more and more, but are we more liberated?

As a result, he argues, we are making a science of sex which is devoted to the analysis of desire rather than the increase of pleasure. 'A wealth of insights, original conceptualizations and provocative ideas' The Times Literary SupplementRead More
