After being court-martialed in the port of Portsmouth, the doctor was sentenced to death. During the two weeks before the execution, the marine chaplain tried to sway him to repentance by, for instance, organizing a church service, attended by the crew and the convicted man, which centered the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. This did not keep Taylor from presenting to the chaplain an image of God that differed slightly from the wrathful supreme being who set these cities ablaze. Taylor, a well-read man who was familiar with Voltaire and other “infidel authors,” did not consider himself a sinner. He believed in God as creator, but in his view, God did not run the world in inscrutable and punishing ways. God was merciful and understanding of human frailties, especially when these “were implanted in our nature and constitution.”1 That Taylor frequently had given way to his irresistible urges did not, he stressed, detract from his moral righteousness—and this, after all, served as the base for community spirit and responsible handling of civil rights and freedom of religion. Taylor trusted that God, in the last judgment, would take into","PeriodicalId":45704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of Sexuality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135348396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gynecological texts combine ideas about nature, health, magic, and religion and draw from sources originating from all over Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Denmark did not produce any solely gynecological manuscripts in the Middle Ages; however, it did produce a number of more general medical texts that include a large number of gynecological cures. While medieval gynecological tracts in continental Europe have been studied extensively, the focus in Scandinavian research has largely been on other sources of knowledge about women’s health. There have been, for example, studies on the archaeological evidence for infanticide and death in childbirth, descriptions of birth and parental relationships in religious and miracle texts, discussions of the role of magic in birth, and examinations of depictions of birth in artworks and ballads.1 Grethe Jacobsen’s 1984 survey of possible sources for details on childbirth examines all of the above varieties of evidence. Yet in all these studies, very little attention has been paid to the presence of birth-related and gynecological cures in extant medieval medical texts.

Beyond ask ing these teenagers about their attitudes toward sex, the survey prompted them to assess their levels of sexual knowledge and to evaluate the sex education they had received. Most notably, the survey recorded details of their sexual practice, including incidences of kissing, “petting,” and pene trative intercourse. The somewhat “unsensational” central finding of the research was that “premarital sexual relations are a long way from being universal . . . for well over threequarters of the boys and girls in our sample have never engaged in them.”2 Underpinning Schofield’s study was an assumption that there was something distinctive about teenage sexuality and that accounts of modern sexuality were missing something by having neglected to consider young people’s sexual attitudes and practices. Schofield’s survey was certainly a turning point in studies of British sexuality insofar as it was the first major study to interrogate premarital sexuality. However, Schofield’s impulse to investigate and quantify teenage sexuality was indicative of a longerterm shift in which sexuality became increasingly understood as an organizing marker of the life cycle.

Addressed to readers of both sexes, an exposé of the secret vices of the fairer sex was integral to Onania’s appeal, and the author’s professed scruples proved little bar to waxing lyrical on the subject. Self-pollution, he claimed, was almost universal among women, subjecting them to disease, disfigurement, and even death. The most lurid and arresting depictions of women, however, he displaced onto his correspondents. The readers’ letters reproduced in Onania offered the most dramatic descriptions of women in the entire work: candid, allegedly firsthand accounts of the physical destruction that masturbation supposedly wrought on the body. This correspondence played a key role in its rhetorical and commercial strategy, with advertisements trumpeting the existence of letters from and about women as soon as they appeared.2 Although critics were quick to seize on their dubious provenance, the accounts in these letters took on a life of their own. Within a few years of their first appearance, these stories of female masturbation were appearing elsewhere.

The minister proclaimed in Parliament: “We are invaded by pornographers. . . . I declare war on these scoundrels.”1 In a manner similar to what scholars describe as “concept wars,” such as “the war on terrorism” and “the war on drugs,” Vandenpeereboom used the metaphor of war to stress that his responsibility was to stop the “transportation of pornography.”2 Vandenpeereboom’s declaration of war can be seen as the final step of a process in which pornography became understood as a danger of movement; hence, it was the responsibility of the government to stop its transportation. Vandenpeereboom’s ban on the transportation of pornographic material was almost immediately contested by liberal politicians and some publishers of the targeted journals, with one of them even suing the Belgian government. The court ruled in favor of Vandenpeereboom’s actions. Celebrating his win, he wrote a letter to Jules Lammens, a Catholic Party member of the Belgian Senate, informing him that the court agreed with him and that the state could “refuse the transportation of [pornographic] writings [by train and mail].”3 Lammens was pleased with this news, since","PeriodicalId":45704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of Sexuality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135348394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And during winter holidays, it so happened that the secondary school pupils did a work placement at a press, and each of us got a copy. So the four of us [who did the placement], two boys, a girl, and myself, had the book, and we lent it out as well. It had influence. Of course, our parents did not know what kind of a book it was. We considered it to be forbidden fruit, because we were still underaged.”1 Individual and collective interaction with expert literature was central to Elżbieta’s narrative of how she acquired sexual knowledge. This article examines personal narratives of formal and informal sex education by two generations of Poles, the first coming of age in the immediate aftermath of World War II and the second approximating to their children’s generation. We argue that the state-supported expertization of sexuality and reproduction played an important role in the development of sexual identities among Polish men and women during the second half of the twentieth century. We demonstrate how, from the 1950s onward, knowledge about the sexual body began and continued to be framed as valuable and symptomatic of modernity, as well as necessary for personal and familial happiness.
