For me, this redirects to: http://www.sexarchive.info/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/HISTORYCHHS.HTM

Which is blocked at my workplace. So, possible NSFW?


Same here. Anyone has any idea what this article is about?


Looks like scholarly work, not exactly Playboy stuff. Title and table of contents:

Notes



Looks like some sort of encyclopedia-style article about the history of child and adolescent sexuality in Europe. I'm not sure why it's here.

The citation: Janssen, D. F. (Oct., 2002). Growing Up Sexually. Volume I: World Reference Atlas. Interim report. Amsterdam, The Netherlands


It's here because gwern.


It's just one chapter/section of a larger work. Not at all sure why it's here.


What I found interesting is how different it is from the idealized picture of a chaste moral past a lot of people would like to believe in, and how different societies can treat the process of sexualization.


Presumably to remind those of us deep in the pixel mines that human contact exists...?


Cool! thanks for the reply!

It does seem scholarly and also quite interesting.
