Gedrukt boek
The book analyzes Christian assumptions about sexuality, chronicles the early institutionalization of these assumptions, and explores the theological debate about the meaning of marriage and the role of sex in marriage.

The book concludes with an overview of late medieval sex practices as seen in the literature of the period and in demographic studies
