Sexual Behavior in the Human Male 3 reviews Alfred Charles Kinsey, Wardell B. Pomeroy, ...
Indiana University Press, 1998
A CLASSIC Read
+ Pioneering Work + Fun book!
Recent attempts to discredit Kinsey originally drove me to read Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. I'm not a scientist and was worried about Kinsey's accessibility. But like Freud, he is a great writer with an empathic style. Kinsey builds a lyrical momentum that carries the reader to each new ...

Harvard University Press, 2007
The social uses of homosexual pursuit
+ The Original History of Man-Boy Relations in Antiquity + Well researched
What I found particularly informative was Dover's fascinating theory on the social use of Homosexual pursuit among the citizen class. Particularly the information that hubris was a crime in democratic Athens. What has this to do with homosexuality, you ask? the first half of the book explains. ...

Bisexuality in the Ancient World 2 reviews Eva Cantarella
Yale University Press, 1994
lots of good stuff, a few problems
+ Not as recent as some might have us believe...
First the problems. When a scholar uses such a wide range of sources, it is inevidentual that some will be used better than others. I think Cantarella has a good grasp of the legal and epigraphical evidence but her use of literature and plays is more tenuous. Likewise she crosses over from ...
