Interesting Overview of Human Sexuality

This book is an interesting look at the diverse views associated with sexuality throughout human history and culture. Well written, yet easy to read, Ms. Dening's book is a cursory overview of the subject with wonderful illustrations. Ms. Dening had an obvious bias against the constrictive nature of christianity, and let her views get in the way of presenting the facts. I would have appreciated a bibliography or works sited page to further my reading. Overall, this book is worth a quick read.
