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', with Paris as the \u003cem\u003eCity of Pleasure\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this uncensored and fascinating photographic record of the period, historian Alexandre Dupouy pulls back the bedcovers on Paris's eye-opening erotic life. He reveals the delights of its fetish scene, its licensed brothels and gay nightclubs, the first sex shop chains, erotic photography, pornography, and much more.
