A Curious History of Sex
Summary from Booktopia
Based on the popular research project Whores of Yore and written with her distinctive humour and wit, A Curious History of Sex draws upon Dr. Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history. From medieval impotence tests to twentieth-century testicle thefts, from the erotic frescoes of Pompeii, to modern-day sex doll brothels, Lister unashamedly roots around in the pants of history, debunking myths, challenging stereotypes, and generally getting her hands dirty. This fascinating book is peppered with surprising and informative historical slang, and illustrated with eye-opening, toe-curling, and meticulously sourced images from the past. You will laugh, you will wince, and you will wonder just how much has actually changed.

Caddyshack Review
A rip roaring, well researched, illustrated romp through (some) sexual history. Plenty to learn via Kate’s feminist voice and to ultimately discover, that there really is nothing new under the sun when it comes to sex.
