"Sex In History" book online...
Hi everyone,
A complete online book "Sex In History" by Gordon Rattray Taylor (first
published 1954) is here:-

Chapter 7 ("Fay Ce Que Vous Vouldras") covers from 15th Century Italy up to
the wildfire passage of syphilis through Europe all the way to China
(allegedly brought back from Haiti by Columbus' sailors), and Fallopius'
subsequent (1560) invention of the condom.
Just thought you'd like to know. :-)
Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
