ABSTRACT:
Michel Foucault, in his influential work The Uses of Pleasure, suggests that ‘if one wanted to assign an origin to those few great themes that shaped our sexual morality … not only would it be a mistake to attribute them to that fiction called ‘Judeo-Christian’ morality, it would be a bigger mistake to look behind them for the timeless operation of prohibition or the permanent form of law.’ We find ourselves challenged today with a fundamental question: how did our sexual humanity become morally problematic? When and why was a stigma applied to sexuality, indeed to the body as such?
