Sexuality: A Very Short Introduction
Are our genes the primary determinants of our sexuality? Or is it influenced by the social expectations and conventions into which we just so happen to be born? With a focus on the social and political dimensions of sexuality, this Very Short Introduction offers an easy, considerate, and stimulating introduction to the main arguments surrounding sexuality in the modern world. It critically examines various conceptions of sexuality and demonstrates how many of our presumptions about what constitutes "natural" behaviour in the sexual sphere have, in fact, varied significantly across various historical or cultural contexts.
