Description
Masturbation has been shrouded in secrecy and silence for far too long. Mels van Driel breaks this taboo with With the Hand: A Cultural History of Masturbation, a bold exploration of one of the most universally unmentionable topics. This book delves into the world of solo sex, consulting experts from various fields to shed light on its history, cultural perceptions, and latest discoveries. From doctors and sexologists to theologians and historians, van Driel examines how masturbation has been viewed across cultures and religions throughout history. With a humorous and informative approach, he clears up confusion surrounding this universal topic. With in-depth analysis of topics such as age, location, frequency, circumcision, and multiple orgasms, as well as its representation in art, literature, poetry, and music, With the Hand is an engaging and enlightening read that tackles the physical, mythical, and mythological aspects of masturbation.
