Sexy Origins and Intimate Things the Rites and Rituals of Straights, Gays, Bi'S, Drags, Trans, Virgins, and Others
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Penguin USA
- Publish date: 04/01/1998
Employing the same careful research and driven by the unadulterated obsession with roots that made his Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things a bestseller, author Charles Panati explores the histories of myriad unmentionable subjects -- dirty words, kissing, risque clothing, courtship, birth control, drag queens, sexual paraphernalia, wedding rituals -- and brings them into the light of day where they belong. Without flinching, winking, or talking down to his audience, he offers straightforward explanations of terms and practices of widespread interest to humans yet not commonly discussed. He also helps clarify many confusing and controversial issues of human sexuality. Filled with facts and historical anecdotes that are sure to surprise even the most informed reader, this rich new collection of browsable information is as fun and provocative as its subject matter.
