Thinly spread history of sexuality June 8, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A vague history of sexuality, this book offers a broad scope of sex research without delving into enough specifics to make the reader feel moderately comfortable with the topic. The novel breezes through history, stressing the persecution faced by sex researchers without actually commenting on the actual theories. Too much attention is paid to the dilemmas of modern sex research, which are painfully unarticulated. You do gain a sense of the history, however; so this is a good introductory book, but for a more in depth approach search elsewhere.
