About This Book
The book surveys sexual customs, practices, and perceived perversions from ancient times through the modern era, combining historical narrative, medical comment, and anecdotal examples. It reviews ritualized sexuality tied to various cults, classical practices such as pederasty, courtesan culture, and female same-sex relations, and documents Roman imperial excesses, medieval sects, and later European libertine courts. The text catalogues a wide range of acts and devices, addresses prostitution for both sexes, masturbation, flagellation, incest, and bestiality, and outlines legal, medical, and social reactions alongside illustrative cases and moral observations.
