Homosexuals, transvestites, transsexuals, sado-masochists, necrophiliacs - all of these have been, or still are, considered 'deviants'. Concomitantly there has been almost universal acceptance that unembellished vaginal penetration, performed by one man and one woman, is 'normal' sex. This is now contested. But what is perverse sex and what isn't?
In this illustrated talk, author, historian, and sex scholar Julie Peakman traces changing attitudes to a dozen different sexual perversions from the beginning of Western civilisation to the present day. All sexual behaviours will be investigated from masturbation to golden showers to necrophilia to BDSM to plushies, furries, wife swapping and even more. Julie will discuss each 'perversion’, uncovering the time it was first visible in history and examining how it is viewed today while asking the question why we can be so intolerant of other people's sexual preferences. Expect an enlightening powerpoint presentation.
