At any given point in time, some forms of sex have been encouraged, while others have been punished without mercy. Jump forward or backward a century, or cross a border, and the harmless fun of one society becomes the gravest crime in another. Beginning at the point when courts guarded the sanctity of the "family home" by permitting men to rape their wives, continuing on through the "sexual revolution, " a period that transformed traditional notions of childhood and marriage, and extending into the present day (where debates surrounding gay marriage, sex trafficking, and sex on the internet are part of our daily lives), Berkowitz explores the ways nearly every aspect of Western sexual morality has been turned on its head, with the law always one or two steps behind. By focusing on the experiences of real people who played central roles in the formation of our sexual rights, Berkowitz adds a compelling human element to what might otherwise be faceless legal battles-ultimately arguing that compassion for others is always preferable to sanctimonious condemnation, and that questions about morals and sexual laws are too complicated and volatile to resolve through simple, catch-all solutions."--|cProvided by publisher. 538 Requires Boundless App. 650 0 Sex and law. 650 0 Sex|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Sex customs|xHistory. 650 7 Sex and law.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01114252 650 7 Sex customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01114306 650 7 Sex|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01114214 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0016742793|zFound on Boundless
