Orgasm, or Love Pleasures in the West. A History of Pleasure from the Sixteenth Century to the Present Day
14.99 €
What is the history of orgasm? A history of the hidden body, of repressed desires, of flesh restrained by societal prohibitions and moral laws. Numerous documents, deeply buried in the bowels of archives and libraries, can shed light on this sensual, sometimes promiscuous life. Robbert Musemblé's book offers a fresh look at the past, to realize that the sublimation of erotic attraction did not refer only to religious asceticism, but was the hidden driving force of the West until the 1960s. Now, for the first time in centuries, the repressive model has given way to sexual freedom, and women, thanks to the advent of contraception, have gained the right to pleasure.
