Sex In History by Reay Tannahill
Drawing on art, architecture, literature, theology and numerous scientific disciplines, the author intends to provide a long entertaining look at sexual attitudes, customs and practices in all the world's major civilizations past and present.
Level-headed..diligent, provocative and fascinating. The book is the most complete of its kind ever written. * TIME *
Sanity on the subject of sex is all too rare; wit is in even shorter supply; and an engaging style is about as commonplace as eyebrows on an egg. Three cheers therefore, for Reay Tannahill. * WASHINGTON POST *
A shatteringly wide-ranging survey. * SUNDAY TIMES *
