Thomas Laqueur, Solitary Sex: A Cultural History of Masturbation
Berkeley history professor Thomas Laqueur recently published Solitary Sex: A Cultural History of Masturbation. Sharon Lintz interviews Laqueur about the book at Nerve. (First question: "So you wrote a big book about jacking off.")
Earlier this month, the Chronicle of Higher Education held a live online colloquy (sort of like a chat session with better spelling) with Laqueur.
