Sex in History

Reay Tannahill

Sex In History chronicles the pleasures - and perils- of the flesh from the time of mankind's distant ancestors to the modern day; from a sexual act which was crude and purposeful, to the myriad varieties of contemporary sexual mores.

history sexReay Tannahill's scholarly, yet accessible study ranges from the earliest form of contraception (one Egyptian concoction included crocodile dung) to some latter- day misconceptions about it- like the men who joined their lovers in taking the pill 'just to be on the safe side.' It surveys all manner of sexual practice, preference and position (the acrobatic 'wheelbarrow' position, the strenuous 'hovering butterflies' position...) and draws on souces as diverse as The Admirable Discourses Of The Plain Girl, The Exhibtion Of Female Flagellants, Important Matters Of The Jade Chamber and The Romance Of Chastisement.

Whether writing on androgyny, courtly love, flagellation or zoophilia, Turkish eunuch's Greek dildoes, Taoist sex manuals or Japanses geisha girls, Reay Tannahill is consistently enlightening and entertaining.
