History of Orgasm

Physical pleasure, one of the most private areas of humanity, has been kept under the yoke of power throughout history. The modern history of Western civilization, from the 16th century, when even writing a text referring to oneself was punished, to the present day, includes the painful and struggle-filled development and liberation of this intimate pleasure, but this liberation has not expanded continuously as it is thought, but has appeared to open and close in various periods.

We should not be deceived by the extent of sexual freedom in Western civilization today. As The History of Orgasm will show, this illusion of freedom was realized under the supervision of oppressions, rigid morals and hypocrisies with which we are familiar. For women and men, having a sexual life free from social pressure is still a desired dream today.
