This highly readable history is arranged by historical time periods, from the Feudal Kingdom through the Ming dynasty. This study is based on several ancient erotic albums and is in part a translation of texts along with research on the general subject. In this pathologia sexualis the author breaks with tradition and tells all he has learned from the "secret texts." An exceptionally valuable and fascin- ating work going back some 2000 years in Chinese erotic his- tory. A useful sociological and quasi-religious study, this is most likely the most serious and comprehensive, in-depth monograph on the subject, with illustrations, also covers the erotic art of Chinese foot-binding, adornment of the foot & its use in sex-play. * ALWAYS SCARCE ! .
