After the austerity, horror and bloodshed of World War I, France longed for joy, light- heartedness, and sexual freedom. Men and newly emancipated women alike rejected pre- war values and moral restraints. They embraced new lifestyles, and discovered a lust for extravagance, partying, and erotic experimentation that had the inter-war era known as the Roaring Twenties, or the mad years, and Paris as the City of Pleasure.
In this uncensored and fascinating photographic record of the period, historian Alexandre Dupouy pulls backs the bedcovers on Pariss eye-opening erotic life, revealing the delights
of its fetish scene, its licensed brothels and gay nightclubs, the first sext shop chains, erotic photography, pornography, and much more. This is an uncensored, titillating, and utterly fascinating look at the sexual excesses of the inter-war period in what was arguably the worlds most decadent city.
