Geoffrey R. Stone Excerpts His New Book, Sex and the Constitution, in the Washington Post

‘Sex and the Constitution’

My new book, “Sex and the Constitution,” will officially be released on March 21. I have worked on this book, off-and-on, for roughly a decade. My goal was to explore the history of sex, religion, law and constitutional law from the ancient world to the 21st century. I’m pleased to report that the early reviews have been quite glowing, including from such folks as Laurence Tribe, Linda Greenhouse, Cass Sunstein, Erwin Chemerinsky, David Cole and George Chauncey.

I am especially pleased that my friend Eugene Volokh has invited me to write a series of five pieces about the book for the Volokh ConspiracyEach of these pieces will consist of edited excerpts from the book. This, the first of those pieces, is drawn primarily from the prologue and the epilogue in order to give readers an overall sense of the work. The four subsequent pieces, which will appear each day this week, will focus on representative moments in the vast sweep of history explored in “Sex and the Constitution.” I hope you will find them interesting and illuminating.
