The Medicalization of Sex
Traces the scientific construction of sexuality from the 19th century to the present. Examines how medicine, psychiatry, surgery and, more recently, drug companies, have constructed popular definitions of sexual normalcy and deviance, function and dysfunction. Highlights the power of science and medicine to define, judge, regulate, and discipline sex and considers the transformative possibilities afforded by new technologies.
