US: Polity Press, Date: 2008. Paperback. Good. Can the orgasm be explained in historical terms? An almost incommunicable i ndividual emotion yet also a cultural reality, the orgasm is part of, but a lso escapes, collective experience. The history of the orgasm is that of th e hidden body, of forbidden desires, of flesh constrained by taboos and mor ality. Buried deep in archives and libraries, the documents that shed light on this physical, sometimes libertine, life are nevertheless surprisingly plentiful and have a surprisingly evocative charge. Robert Muchembled's boo k unearths fascinating sources which suggest that we need to look with a fr esh eye at the past and realize that the sublimation of the erotic impulse was far more than simple religious asceticism: it was the hidden driving fo rce of the West until the 1960s. In the sphere of sexual pleasure, England and France have followed parallel paths. The United States remains deeply influenced by this common repressive model, which hedonist Europe has recently abandoned in favour of a malleable sexuality of which woman are the chief beneficiaries. Liberated by the pill from the dangers and anxieties associated with the obligations of reproduction, they can now claim equality with men and uninhibitedly claim pleasure and the orgasm for themselves. 2008.
