The story of sex is the story of civilization itself.

Sex is the most universal human experience, yet no force has been more regulated, feared, misunderstood, politicized, or transformed.

A Brief History of Sex tells the sweeping story of how desire shaped civilization, from prehistoric fertility symbols and ancient marriage laws to religion, psychoanalysis, feminism, the sexual revolution, LGBTQ+ rights, #MeToo, dating apps, artificial intelligence, and the future of intimacy.

This is not a manual about sex. It is a history of power, shame, love, freedom, control, identity, and the human body. Across cultures and centuries, sexuality has defined families, organized inheritance, justified laws, inspired art, created taboos, fueled revolutions, and exposed the deepest tensions between personal freedom and social order.

Why did societies regulate women's bodies? How did religion turn desire into sin? Why did Freud place sexuality at the center of psychology? How did Kinsey, Foucault, Simone de Beauvoir, Stonewall, the contraceptive pill, and #MeToo change the way we understand sex? And what happens now, in a world of dating algorithms, reproductive technology, virtual intimacy, and changing gender identities?

Clear, provocative, and deeply readable, A Brief History of Sex reveals that the story of sex is never only about the bedroom. It is the story of civilization itself.

Discover how desire became one of the most powerful forces in human history.

Buy A Brief History of Sex today and explore the hidden history of the body, power, love, shame, and freedom.
