Sexology: Sexology Uncensored
built 626 days ago
Sexology Uncensored is a collection of extracts and documents brought together by Lucy Bland and Laura Doan charting the rise from the nineteenth century onwards of the science of sexology. It is divided into sections each covering a particular area of sexual science and each with an introduction which locates the documents in their historical context. A general introduction provides some exposition and commentary on the overall development of ideas on gender, sex and sexual deviance. The latest extract is dated 1937 and, broadly, the editor’s chief intention is to produce a student reader to accompany courses on the history of sexology.

Sexology Uncensored brings together, for the first time, many of the key documents of the modern science of sexuality that emerged in the late nineteenth century. The early pioneers of the new field of sexology examined and classified sexual behaviors, identities, and relations. For years much of the material here has been "censored" in the sense that it is difficult to obtain, subject to restrictive circulation, or available only in medical archives. The extracts (which date from the 1880s to the 1940s) cover a variety of topics including gender and sexual difference; homosexuality; transsexuality and bisexuality; heterosexuality; marriage and sex manuals; reproductive control; eugenics; race; and various sexual proclivities.

For years much of the material here has been "censored" - difficult to obtain, subject to restrictive circulation, or available only in medical archives. This volume offers readers access to the primary materials on which contemporary sexology is founded and, as such, it is an invaluable record for all those interested in how we have come to think about sex and sexuality over the last one hundred years.
