dark funny informative medium-paced

Just to be clear: this is a book about history and anthropology, and is *deeply* unerotic. It's informative and funny, but also focuses on many of the dark sides of health, law, and society.

Super informative book, complete with references, in which we learn that our ancestors have been having sex and thinking about sex, just as we do! There are pictures that help provide context. It is a very fun and informative read.

This was a truly brilliant read. Once I started it was hard to put it down. The audiobook is also a treat as it is read by Dr Kate Lister and she brings all the charm, humour, and seriousness (when relevant) you might expect. It was a wonderfully funny way to learn about an immense about of history that I would recommend to literally anyone. Made me laugh and made me cry.

A wonderful fairly short text on the history of sex from a western/ UK perspective. Very well referenced with a multitude of links to other texts to expand your knowledge further. Funny and educational.

A really interesting book that I will take to build upon with other research! Looking at sexuality has always been a difficult topic but this book links it to so many things and explores it all in a sensitive, funny and informative way. Would highly recommend!
