History of Orgies
Partridge, Burgo
20959 There has never been a history of orgies. Sexologists have detailed the practices in many societies, from the ancient Greeks to the modern aborigine, but for examples of mankind pursuing sexual enjoyment in its most pure and exaggerated form we must turn to the orgy. Mr. Partridge evaluates the motives behind orgies and examines to what extent social environmnent and individual psychology overlap in producing these phenomena. The sincerest exponents of Hedonism were of the Greeks and it was their naive concept of sexuality which led, with or without religious pretext, to the orgy. Their celebrations of the Aphrodisia, the Dionysia and theThesmophoria, here described, were feasts in honor of the grape, the human form and fertility, and they form one pattern for subsequent imitators, 247 pages. 1862002967 / 9781862002968
