How Sex Got Screwed Up

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the historical evolution of sexual pleasure and gender taboos, the narrative traces their origins to the Stone Age, where tribes used these norms for differentiation. As societies progressed into the Bronze and Iron Ages, these taboos evolved, influencing the dynamics within city-states and empires. The early Christian era marked a significant shift, as sexual expression was redefined as sinful, leading to guilt and severe punishment while simultaneously reinforcing the subordination of women to men.
