Is our sexuality decided primarily by our genes? Or is it shaped by the social norms and expectations we happen to be born into. This Very Quick Introduction supplies an accessible, thoughtful and thought-provoking introduction to main debates around sexuality within the modern world, highlighting the social and political points of sexuality. It critically explores alternative ways of defining and eager about sexuality and reveals that many of our assumptions about what's "pure" within the sexual domain have, in reality, assorted enormously in numerous historic or cultural contexts. The volume also examines methods in which governments have tried to control citizens' sexualities previously-through policies and legal guidelines regarding public health, HIV/Aids, prostitution, and intercourse schooling-paying particular attention to the particular zeal with which ladies's sexuality has been policed. The volume concludes by discussing political activism around sexuality more broadly, specializing in the ways by which feminists, lesbians and gay men, as well as non secular fundamentalists have transformed our ways of interested by sexuality up to now few decades.
