Like the typewriter & the light bulb, the heterosexual was invented in the 1860s & swiftly transformed Western culture. The idea of “the heterosexual” was unprecedented. After all, men & women had been having sex, marrying, building families, & sometimes even falling in love for millennia without having any special name for their emotions or acts.

Yet, within half a century, “heterosexual” had become a byword for “normal,” enshrined in law, medicine, psychiatry, & the media as a new gold standard for human experience. With an eclectic scope & fascinating detail, Straight tells the eye-opening story of a complex & often contradictory man-made creation that turns out to be anything but straight or narrow
