Orgasm and the West: A History of Pleasure from the 16th Century to the Present
Muchembled, Robert (University of Paris)
Can the orgasm be explained in historical terms? An almost incommunicable individual emotion yet also a cultural reality, the orgasm is part of, but also escapes, collective experience. The history of the orgasm is that of the hidden body, of forbidden desires, of flesh constrained by taboos and morality.
