sexuality (celibacy and masturbation); fertility and sexuality
(menstruation; birth control, abortion, vasectomy and other technologies);
sexual subcultures; geographies of sexuality; prostitution; sexually
transmitted disease; HIV/AIDS and sexuality; representations of sexuality
(e.g., pornography, erotica, safer sex campaigns); the medicalization of

education; moral reform movements; legal regulation of sexuality; sexual
violence; globalization and sexuality; historiographical and theoretical
approaches to sexuality (e.g., marxism, feminism, queer theory) .

Like all H-Net lists, H-Histsex is moderated to edit out material that,
in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical
matters (such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or
violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is
Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:
