The masterstroke of series editor Jolyon Connell lies in his enlistment of experts who maintain their literary verve and sharp opinions in short form., Sexuality is a welcome, entertaining and very smart romp through a complex subject. Sex is always on our minds; this book helps us know what we are thinking."

Synopsis
Charlotte McGann tells the story of human sexuality from the days of the hunter gatherers through to modern times. She explores the attitudes of the ancient Greeks and Romans to sex - and at the many ways in which their attitudes and mores mirrored our own. She takes us rapidly through history, from the Elizabethan age, and the attitudes to sex explored in plays like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, to the buttoned-up Victorians and modern times, exploring the influence of key figures like Alfred Kinsey, who initiated the modern era of sex research in 1947, and his successors, Masters and Johnson, who created the first sex clinic in 1965. Philip Larkin once famously observed: "Sexual intercourse began/In nineteen sixty three/ (which was rather too late for me) - / Between the end of the "Chatterley" ban/ And the Beatles's first LP." What did he mean? And to what extent was he right? How much did sex and our attitudes to it really change from the mid sixties onwards? And what about sexual attraction? What causes it? How differently do men and women think about it? Why have attitudes to it, and to gender, become so fraught? And what of the dark side of sex? In the course of this concise but comprehensive study, Charlotte McGann looks at all these questions - and many others - as she puts in context an issue of enduring fascination to us all., "Humans have always had sex. But look through the keyhole of history and you will see they have not always had sex in the same manner, with the same kinds of people or with the same beliefs about whether what they are doing is right or desirable." So writes Charlie McCann in this fascinating study of sex and sexuality through the ages. Beginning with the world of antiquity and ending with the present, she traces our changing attitudes to our bodies and what we do with them, conducting us on a tour which takes in the gymnasiums of ancient Greece, where men seduced boys, to the caves occupied by Christian ascetics, to the fashionable drawing rooms of Georgian London, where libertines hunted for women to prey on, and the clubs of Weimar Berlin, where lesbians debated the nature of their desire. Nowadays, in Europe and North America, the way we think about sexuality is a fundamental part of our identity. To a greater extent than ever, we are defined by our sexual preferences. Sexuality matters more than it ever has before. We need to understand it to understand ourselves., A concise account of the history of human sexuality, from the times of Ancient Greece to the contemporary furore over gender identity and LGBT.
