This book provides the first rounded, first-hand account of sexuality in marriage in the early and mid-twentieth century. These award-winning authors look beyond conventions of silence among the respectable majority to challenge stereotypes of ignorance and inhibition. Based on vivid, compelling and frank testimonies from a socially and geographically diverse range of individuals, the book explores a spectrum of sexual experiences, from learning about sex and sexual practices in courtship, to attitudes to the body, marital ideals and birth control. It demonstrates that while the era's emphasis on silence and strict moral codes could for some be a source of inhibition and dissatisfaction, for many the culture of privacy and innocence was central to fulfilling and pleasurable intimate lives. 410 0$aCambridge social and cultural histories ;$v16. 606 $aSex$zEngland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex role$zEngland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIntimacy (Psychology) 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 615 0$aSex$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aIntimacy (Psychology) 676 $a306.70942/0904 700 $aSzreter$b Simon$0253578 702 $aFisher$b Kate 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458782303321 996 $aSex before the sexual revolution$91906046 997 $aUNINA
