The sexual freedoms of this life world were constrained by the relations of mastery essential to the functioning of these economies. On the other hand, dramatic new vistas of sexual freedom opened up as older relations based on domination and a family centered model of peasant production were dissolved. And so what you get across the board historically and geographically is the sort of casual incense of episodomy of same sex relations.
Featuring Max Fox and Chris Nealon on the late Christopher Chitty's book Sexual Hegemony: Statecraft, Sodomy, and Capital in the Rise of the World System.
