The Encyclopædia of Sexual Behaviour, Volume Two is an encyclopedia of sexual behavior and covers topics ranging from the linguistic aspects of sex to sex life in Latin America, sex in the literature, and sexual love. Laws on marriage and family and on sex crimes are also discussed, along with sexual perversions and the art of loving. Comprised of 52 chapters, this volume first deals with Judaism's attitudes and teachings on sex, particularly with regard to the sexuality of women, nudity, and prostitution. The reader is then introduced to the connection between language and sex; sex life in regions such as Latin American, the Orient, and the Soviet Union; and the portrayal of sex in literature. Subsequent chapters explore sexual love as opposed to altruistic love; marriage and family living; menopause and the menstrual cycle; movement and feeling in sex; the interrelationship of music and sex; and the effects of nutrition and health on sexuality. Other chapters focus on phallicism and sexual symbolism; planned parenthood around the world; the psychology of pornography; human reproduction; and sex in relation to race and Protestantism. This book will be of interest to psychologists and psychiatrists.

When published in 1948 this volume encountered a storm of condemnation and acclaim. It is, however, a milestone on the path toward a scientific approach to the understanding of human sexual behavior. Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey and his fellow researchers sought to accumulate an objective body of facts regarding sex. They employed first hand interviews to gather this data. This volume is based upon histories of approximately 5,300 males which were collected during a fifteen year period. This text describes the methodology, sampling, coding, interviewing, statistical analyses, and then examines factors and sources of sexual outlet.

A pioneering study which has become an established classic in its field, Sex, Politics and Society provides a lucid and comprehensive analysis of the transformations of British sexual life from 1800 to the present. These changes are firmly located in the wider context of social change, from industrialization and the experience of Empire through the establishment of the welfare state to the rise of new social movements, such as feminism and gay liberation, and new forms of social conservatism. Now fully revised and updated, and with a new chapter bringing the story right up to date, this new edition considers: the transformation of the sexual world through globalization and the internet the changing impact of the AIDS pandemic over the last thirty years the influence of new currents in social and cultural theory on the study of sexuality the gradual depoliticization and mainstreaming of sexuality within historical study Combining rich empirical detail with innovative theoretical insights, Sex, Politics and Society remains at the cutting edge of the subject and this third edition will inspire and provoke a whole new generation of readers in history, sociology, social policy, and the study of sexuality.

"Surprisingly -- in this era of proliferating interest in sex research -- the comparative study of human sexual behavior, in all its variation and diversity, has received insufficient attention. Here, eight eminently qualified scholars -- seven anthropologists and one sociologist -- provide a detailed look at the sexual practices, attitudes, and mores of representative societies from one side of the world to the other, and from their observations, the editors formulate a number of hypotheses about human sexual behavior in general. As shown in this volume, human sexual behavior runs the gamut from extreme social inhibition to extreme permissiveness. The great variety of sexual practices, coital techniques, sexual taboos, attitudes towards "perversions," and other aspects of sexuality described in this book attests not only to the malleability of the human personality, but also -- as seen from the perspectives of anthropology -- to the frightening power of society to govern the expression of a basic human drive. This volume, characterized by the scholarship of other volumes from the Kinsey Institute, promises to be a landmark in the anthropological study of sex."--Jacket.

This is Volume V of fifteen in the Sociology of Law and Criminology series. Originally published in 1946, readers of the present volume will be aware of the links existing, for instance, between certain chapters of the author’s previous work ‘Social Aspects’, especially those on Business Administration and similar subjects, and the economic sections of the present book; or between the concluding Parts of the latter and of ‘The Dilemma’. A few lectures of a programmatic character delivered at a Summer School of the Fabian Society and at the South Place Ethical Society also feature in this book. It is one of the most important functions of Criminal Justice to play some part in the great task of Education for Citizenship.

Sexual drives are rooted in biology, but we don’t act on them blindly. Indeed, as the eminently readable judge and legal scholar Richard Posner shows, we make quite rational choices about sex, based on the costs and benefits perceived. Drawing on the fields of biology, law, history, religion, and economics, this sweeping study examines societies from ancient Greece to today’s Sweden and issues from masturbation, incest taboos, date rape, and gay marriage to Baby M. The first comprehensive approach to sexuality and its social controls, Posner’s rational choice theory surprises, explains, predicts, and totally absorbs.
