He shows how an overwhelmingly male penal colony gave rise to a rough and ready culture: the scarcity of women made for strange bedfellows, and the female minority was both powerful and vulnerable.Then came the Victorian era, in which fears of sodomy helped bring an end to the transportation of convicts. Tracing the story all the way to the present, Bongiorno shows how the quest for respectability always has another side to it, and how the contraceptive pill changed so much. Along the way he deals with some intriguing questions - were the Kelly gang gay? Why did the law ignore lesbianism for so long? - and introduces some remarkable characters, both reformers and radicals. This is the thought-provoking story of sex in Australia. 606 $aSex customs$xHistory$zAustralia 606 $aSocial change$xHistory$zAustralia 606 $aAustralians$xSocial life and customs 606 $aSocial Sciences 606 $aBehavior 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocioeconomic Factors 606 $aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 606 $aPopulation Characteristics 606 $aHealth Care 606 $aSocial Change 606 $aPolitics 606 $aSexual Behavior 615 0$aSex customs$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aAustralians$xSocial life and customs 615 2$aSocial Sciences 615 2$aBehavior 615 2$aSociology 615 2$aSocioeconomic Factors 615 2$aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 615 2$aPopulation Characteristics 615 2$aHealth Care 615 2$aSocial Change 615 2$aPolitics 615 2$aSexual Behavior 676 $a306.70994 700 $aBongiorno$b Frank$01539769 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787121703321 996 $aThe sex lives of Australians$93790844 997 $aUNINA
