According to columnist and investigative reporter Zacks ( The Atlantic Monthly , Time , and more), human sexuality has been stripped from our history books by overzealous Victorians and prudish scholars. Thus, we have been spared exposure to Mark Twain's eloquent diatribe against masturbation or medieval German priest Burchard's catalog of 200 different sexual sins and their punishments dating back to 1012. Attempting to amuse, enlighten, and fill in the gaps, Zacks compiles a collection of revealing stories, fragments, and vignettes culled from the letters, court cases, doctor's reports, travel notebooks, diaries, and texts of the famous and not-so-famous. When placed end to end, these accounts create an anecdotal time line of human sexuality.
