Often pitied by later generations as repressed, unfulfilled and full of moral anxiety, this book provides the first rounded, first-hand account of sexuality in marriage in the early and mid twentieth century.

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, demonstrating that whilst 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"--Provided by publisher. 000427403 650_0 $$aSex$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000427403 650_0 $$aSex role$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000427403 650_0 $$aIntimacy (Psychology) 000427403 651_0 $$aEngland$$xSocial life and customs$$y20th century. 000427403 7001_ $$aFisher, Kate. 000427403 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ18.G7$$iS97$$i2010 000427403 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/60041/cover/9780521760041.jpg 000427403 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:427403$$pGLOBAL_SET 000427403 980__ $$aBIB 000427403 980__ $$aBOOK
