A provocative journey through human sexual history, packed with fun factoids and forgotten stories, from the historian and storyteller behind Kinky History, @esme.louisee on TikTok. Contrary to popular belief, our predecessors had all sorts of obscene hobbies long before Christian Greyhit the scene. In this enlightening romp, learn about the first instances of homosexuality on record from the ancient world and the diverse history of nonbinary gender; encounter a thousand years’ worth of hilarious and horrifying contraceptive methods; consider the positive and negative effects of the widespread availability of pornography in the digital age-and how our relationship to it changed during the pandemic; take a sneaky riffle through centuries of bedside drawers; and discover the dirty little secrets of luminaries such as Julius Caesar, James Joyce, Albert Einstein, and Virginia Woolf. Esmé Louise James also identifies the key tipping points that directly inform current beliefs around sex to place the past in conversation with the present. By educating ourselves about the weird, wonderful, and varied spectrum of human sexuality and experience, we can normalize and destigmatize sex, write people of marginalized sexual identities back into the pages of history, and build toward a more liberated future.

For this is the world of networkers and social climbers, the games they play, the places they go and the circles they swim in determine who is in and who is out, who’s rich and who’s going belly-up.For years Graham Richardson, Trevor Kennedy and Rene Rivkin, high profile politicians and business men, deftly navigated these murky waters with the secret help of offshore advisors. The eventual exposure of their hidden Swiss bank accounts uncovered a world of hidden secrets that rocked the nation.This best-selling and award-winning volume, now in paperback, takes readers through all the twists and turns that led to the discovery of one of Australia’s greatest political and financial scandals.
