Synopsis
Orgasm is one of society's most compelling shaping forces - and most of us probably think that we are living in its golden age. But are we? The history of the orgasm is as elusive as orgasm itself can be, for sex rarely makes it into the historical record. Now acclaimed British journalist Jonathan Margolis delivers a mixture of facts and in-depth analysis of this most compelling and enigmatic of phenomena.
Drawing on the orgasm's biology, literature, anthropology, psychology, and technology, Jonathan Margolis delivers the final word on both male and female orgasm, in an enlightening history that is a pleasure to read.
