Since the dawn of time, mankind has tried to regulate the most powerful engine of human behavior––our sexual appetite––with the weapon of the law. In his new book, Sex and Punishment: Judging Four Thousand Years of Desire, author and lawyer Eric Berkowitz illustrates well-documented cases from history that will make you laugh, cry and cringe, and rethink the progressiveness of Western Law when it comes to policing sexuality.
