Books like The origins of sex by Faramerz Dabhoiwala


Faramerz Dabhoiwala’s *The Origins of Sex* traces the transformation of Western attitudes toward sexuality during the Enlightenment and early modern period. Drawing on canon law, court records, literary texts, and personal diaries, the book shows how religious authority, legal restrictions, and societal norms converged to change the perception of sex. It argues that the foundations of the modern sexual revolution were laid well before the 1960s, highlighting the interplay of intellectual trends, religious shifts, and demographic changes between the 17th and 18th centuries.

📘 The century of sex
 by James R. Petersen

"The Century of Sex is a comprehensive chronicle of sexual mores, relations, and politics in the twentieth century. James R. Petersen argues that the "Sexual Revolution" began generations before the advent of penicillin, Playboy, and the Pill - and ultimately produced seismic cultural shifts that have changed forever the way Americans live."--BOOK JACKET. "Throughout the narrative, The Century of Sex explores the ways in which historical tumults of the 1900s affected sex - and vice versa - through the Jazz Age, the depression, two world wars, the cold war, the sixties, the disco era, and the age of AIDS."--BOOK JACKET.
