Sex, the Illustrated History: Through Time, Religion and Culture

Sex, The Illustrated History, Volume I, begins a daring exploration of human sexuality from the ancient to the modern world. Revealed are sexual practices and beliefs previously omitted or obscured from all historical telling. In a scathing condemnation of religion and its control of sex, the book explores complex relationships between spirituality and sexuality. Over 300 erotic and explicit illustrations add razor-sharp depth to the work. The book is leagues beyond the classic History of Sex, by Michel Foucault, written in the 1950’s and includes Ancient sex, Roman sex, Medieval sex and church scandals.
