The book explores the shift in authority from the church to the state regarding sexual expression during the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. It highlights how classical liberal philosophers recognized this state control as a threat to individual liberty. The evolution of liberalism is presented as a critical framework for ongoing global debates about obscenity, emphasizing the tension between state regulation and personal freedoms in matters of sexuality.
