Document Summary
The repressive hypothesis: confession of the flesh perpetuated by religion, not obligation to admit sex violations. Instead you had to tell yourself and others that everything had an affinity with sex. As a result, sex always on your mind. Establishing discourse with yourself: there came a policing of sex. Necessity of regulating sex through public discourse: analyzed sex. Birth rate, age of marriage, legitimate/illegitimate births, frequency of sexual relations, impact of contraceptives. Sex became a public issue between the individual and the state: childhood sex especially taken into account. Building layout in secondary school separated genders. All had sex on the forefront: sex became prevalent in medicine. Instead, variety of ways to discuss it without actually speaking about it. The perverse implantation: three explicit codes governed sexual practices. Civil law: all centered on matrimonial relations, eventually, privacy given to normal heterosexual monogamous couples.
