Inhalt
Heterosexuality is celebrated - in film and on TV, in pop songs and opera, in literature and on greeting cards - and at the same time taken for granted. It is the cultural and sexual norm by default. And yet, in premodern Europe heterosexuality was perceived as an alternative culture. The practice of heterosexuality may have been standard, but the symbolic primacy of the heterosexual couple was not. The author maps the emergence of heterosexual culture in Western Europe and the significant resistance to it from feudal lords, church fathers, and the medical profession. Before the phenomenon of »courtly love« in the 12th century, the man-woman pairing had not been deemed a subject worthy of more than passing interest.
