Secret and Forbidden: The Moral History of the Passions of Mankind

Rate this book
Orgies, Obscene exhibitions, homosexuality, adultery, incest bestiality, pornography. All are among the erotic practices banned by society for thousands of years. Yet the prohibitions of the past, like those of the present, met no success in stamping out deviant expressions of human sexuality. This full documented and illustrated book recounts a history to be found in no textbooks- but one just as valid and illuminating. From the debauchery of ancient Rome through the cultivated voluptuousness of the eighteenth century and the secret clubs and societies that sitll flourish, Secret and Forbidden gives an unsurpassed picture of humanity's secret life.
