Synopsis

Understanding sexual ethics in everyday life and law This work explores borderland questions about love, consent, modesty, and the social norms that shape intimate life. It presents observations from psychology and sociology in a clear, readable voice.

This edition frames how moral ideas about sex have evolved and how individuals navigate desire, duty, and the pressures of society. It aims to spark thoughtful discussion rather than present simple answers, inviting readers to examine their own beliefs.

• How consent, chastity, and modesty are defined across cultures and eras


• Where love meets social rules in marriage, prostitution, and pre‑conjugal life


• The effects of education, tradition, and economic power on intimate choices


• Ways to think about ethical limits and personal responsibility in erotic life

Ideal for readers of cultural critique and social psychology who want a measured, historical look at how erotic life intersects with ethics and society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Zs PREFACE TO ENGLISH EDITION. Ix former times England was a country in which sexual problems although, as everywhere, they were then exiled from the domain of science had a free right of entry into the field of letters. During the nineteenth century, however, for reasons which cannot here be discussed, England became fiercely hostile to all literary study or discussion of questions of sex. Whilst elsewhere, and above all in France, Germany, Russia, and Scandinavia, there sprang into existence a new literature, in part fictional, and in part scientific, dealing, under infinite shades of tendency and with an almost maternal care, with the supreme problems of the human sexual life, England appeared to veil its countenance before such problems. The door was wrathfully slammed in the face of these inopportune and undesired guests. Of late years, however, there has been a change. Men of courage and of insight, in science as well as in literature, have devoted themselves to the establishment of a better order, not only by the method of critical revolt, but also by the method of research, and have sought to unfold the inner philosophy of the relations between the sexes.
