Story of Sex

Whether out of a desire for children, pleasure, money, power, driven by love, lust, revenge, self-discovery, or simply because it isn't allowed, our attitudes to sex and sexuality are forever changing. Through the centuries, religion, superstition and morality laws have impacted what is and isn't deemed acceptable, while technology and disease have redefined the limits of pleasure and reproduction. Many cultures have come a long way from prohibiting masturbation - by way of a microscope - or homosexuality - a 'perversion' once comparable to cannibalism - while others continue to condemn promiscuous behaviour, particularly of women. The subject is endlessly fascinating and never more relevant to today's discussions of relationships and gender. Sex Storybrilliantly and humorously reveals our sexual ancestry, highlighting the key characters of change along the way, and foretells a future of virtual gratification.

The Story of Sex

Sex story. La prima storia del sesso a fumetti

Sex is everywhere, yet how many of us truly understand it? Our attitudes to sex and sexuality are forever in flux. Driven by pleasure, power, revenge, a desire for children or simply because it isn't allowed, humans have had sex on the brain since pre-civilization. But what do we really know? In The Story of Sex, we discover the truth, including: what eroticism really is, when the first couple was established, what phallic festivals were all about, when chastity belts were used and how some ancient civilizations were far ahead of their time when it came to gender equality. The first graphic novel of its kind, The Story of Sex brilliantly and humorously uncovers the most fascinating details of our sexual ancestry, and foretells a future of virtual gratification.
