This text addresses masturbation, exploring both the history and artistic representation of autoeroticism. On the one hand, it is the subject of much popular treatment, especially in sexual self-help books, advice columns and in popular culture. On the other hand, masturbation is still a taboo subject for most people in every day conversation. Analyzing representations of autoeroticism from the 16th century to the present, the study establishes masturbation and related issues of sexual fantasy and sexual autonomy as subjects of importance for cultural history, gender studies, and the history of literature and art.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Solitary Pleasures is the first anthology to address masturbation exploring both the history and artistic representation of autoeroticism Masturbation today enjoys a highly equivocal and contradictory status among cultural discourses relating to sexuality On the one hand it is the subject of much popular treatment especially in sexual selfhelp books advice columns and in pop culturefor example Madonnas Like a Virgin performance a recent Roseanne episode and David Russells movie Spanking the Monkey On the other hand masturbation is still a taboo subject for most people in everyday conversation Perhaps more surprising it has been largely dismissed by academics as a trivial humorous topic and the history of a delusionIt was not until the eighteenth century that onanism was portrayed as a morbid act of epidemic proportions that produced pox hair loss blindness insanity impotence and a horrible Its prevention and treatment warranted diverse and often cruel measures surveillance diets drugs corsets electrical alarms urethral cauterization clitoridectomy and labial sewing This literatures apocalyptic warnings about the personal and social morbidity of pollutionbythehand are largely unknown to most people today but the ghostly echoes of these admonitions still inform and preserve the present taboo of the subjectWhy did this apparently innocuous activity become so overpoweringly stigmatized Why was the eradication of masturbation one of the most important goals of 19th century public hygiene Why even after the sexual revolution is masturbation still shrouded in shame.
