Elsie Clews Parsons compares American attitudes toward sex with European ones. In France, she says, sex is kept in view and tied to the rest of life. In America it is pushed down and kept apart from other facts. She asks what that suppression does, and why so little study has been done of it. This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns. Read by Eleesha Lewis in twenty-six minutes.
