  Based on the premise that people shape their ideas of what is permissible, define boundaries of right and wrong, and imagine sexual worlds through the discourses available, this book explores the Ottoman sexual thought and practices. It deals with the history of the Ottoman Empire, the history of sexuality and gender, and the Islamic Middle East.
