Humans are the only creatures that stigmatise particular sexual practices, and sex remains a deeply divisive issue around the world. Attitudes will change and grow - hopefully for the better - but sex will never be free of stigma or shame unless we acknowledge where it has come from.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on the popular research project \u003ci\u003eWhores of Yore\u003c\/i\u003e, and written with her distinctive humour and wit, \u003ci\u003eA Curious History of Sex\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon Dr Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history.
