From the stranger byways of Greek medicine (with its advice on  the healthiest season for sex, as well as exercise and diet) to the  role of women, The Use of Pleasure is full of extraordinary  insights into the differences - and the continuities - between the  Ancient, Christian and Modern worlds, showing how sex became a moral  issue in the west.
