Product Description
Review
A skilfully constructed history of the peak of female sexual pleasure from ancient Greece, where women purchased long leather probes called olisbos (self-satisfiers), to medieval and later times when the very idea of enjoying sex was regarded with horror - although, surprisingly enough, dildos were freely available during the Edwardian era. The secrets of the orgasm existed in other places and at other times but the modern European sexual age began when the clitoris was discovered in 1558 by anatomist Mateo Columbus, who was promptly imprisoned for his pains. Margolis tells us that over a typical lifetime we can expect to enjoy only about 10 hours of orgasm and in the animal kingdom only female apes, dolphins and elephants find sex enjoyable (although one can only speculate how research into these assertions was carried out).
Erotic Review
‘Margolis’ book is rich in delicious accounts of the orgasms of the great and good, past and present’
