This well-worn copy of Richard Lewinsohn’s “A History of Sexual Customs” offers a fascinating glimpse into the study of human sexuality and its cultural expressions throughout history. Published in 1958, at a time when open discussions of sex were still taboo in many circles, this groundbreaking work shed light on the diverse and often misunderstood practices of societies around the world. Lewinsohn’s scholarly yet accessible approach, coupled with his anthropological lens, made the book a pioneering text in the field of sexuality studies. While the physical condition reflects its age and use, the content remains a valuable resource for understanding the complex interplay between human sexuality, cultural norms, and societal mores. This copy, with its discolored yet unmarked pages, invites readers to embark on an illuminating journey through the rich tapestry of sexual customs, challenging preconceptions and broadening perspectives along the way.
