Exploring the historical evolution of sexual pleasure and gender roles, the narrative traces the origins of sex and gender taboos from the Stone Age through the Bronze and Iron Ages. It highlights how these taboos served as markers of tribal identity and permeated societal norms in ancient city-states and empires.
