Interesante el capítulo sobre la sexualidad en el medievo en la India, el enfoque del libro se ha quedado obsoleto sin que pueda haber menciones a Internet o a los cuestionamientos actuales feministas.

This is an incredibly insightful look into the way pornography evolved and has altered our culture. The overall implications of the changes and spread are addressed in a very fair manner. My only regret is that it was published at the beginning of the Clinton administration. I wish Bernard Arcand would write an update, because there have been so many cultural changes since that time. The book was actually begun as an attempt to justify the existence of the anthropology department at the university where Arcand teaches. I also highly recommend "Pornography: The Secret History of Civilisation" by the BBC.

April 19, 2016Sólo me han gustado los tres últimos capítulos. El resto son unas vagas y someras descripciones sobre la pornografía moderna y algunos aportes curiosos sobre la censura de la misma. Antropológicos sólo los capítulos finales con unas conclusiones y aclaraciones sobre el Génesis muy apreciables.
