Sexual Deviance: A Reader

The 15 reprinted essays present both the range of sexual deviance in western industrial society and highlight the significance of the socially constructed nature of social—and especially sexual—behavior. The intent is not to discourage anyone from engaging in the practices described, nor necessarily to suggest anyone try them, but to make clear that sexual behavior is diverse and can be viewed in widely differing ways.
