This wide-ranging narrative of the British way of sex since 1900 presents a gallery of figures, including prostitutes, sexual visionaries, pornographers, fetishists, fallen women, fallen clergymen, Home Secretaries, lawyers, detectives, writers, nudists, adulterers and abortionists. From the white-slave traffic and powerful puritans of Edwardian Britain to the new morality of the second half of the century, with a reappraisal of marriage, the prevalence of the condom, sex shops, videos, and fantasists who do things with custard, this is an account of British sexual culture of the 20th century.
