From red light zones to cruising grounds, from the private space of the bedroom to petting and dogging, Urban Erotics provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the interplay between sexualized bodies and erotic urban spaces.
This book considers both the evolution and current manifestation of distinct sexual practices and imaginaries in cities and city spaces. Its central argument revolves around a series of tensions: between public and private, freedom and constraint, assimilation and transgression, practice and fantasy. It is the first book to bring together substantial bodies of research and conflicting viewpoints to produce a definitive statement - illustrated with case studies throughout - on the complex relationships between sex and the city.
