Sexual culture in Vietnam from the 10th century to the early 20th century

Based on rich literary and historical sources such as medieval literature, historical documents, laws, genealogy, folk records and many previous research works, author Pham Van Hung has restored an important but rarely deeply studied cultural sediment: The sexual life of Vietnamese people in history.

The work shows how traditional Vietnamese society perceives love, marriage, family, body and morality. Confucian norms, folk customs as well as historical and social changes have influenced how people understand and adjust their private lives.
