Mongolia's history of sexuality over the past 800 years is explored in this book. As a culture-specific and time-specific system of values, practices, and identities, sexuality in Mongolia, like in other places, has undergone transformation as Mongolian society transitioned from an empire to a post-imperial regional power to a Qing colony to a socialist country before embracing liberal democracy in the 1990s. Given that every social change tends to be reflected in sexuality, this study considers a wide range of interconnected topics, including religious ideologies, political ideologies, law, gender, and the interactions between individuals and the state, all of which have changed throughout Mongolian history and must be rethought if one is to accurately portray such a complex social phenomenon as human sexuality.

Mongolia's History of Sexuality

This book examines the history of sexuality in Mongolia over the last 800 years. As a culture-specific and time-specific system of values, practices, and identities, sexuality in Mongolia, as elsewhere, has been subject to change as Mongolian society transformed from an empire to a post-imperial regional power to a Qing colony to a socialist country, before embracing liberal democracy in the 1990s. Since every social change tends to become reflected in sexuality, this study takes into account a range of intertwined topics, including religious ideologies, political ideologies, law, gender, and relationships between individuals and the state, all of which have evolved throughout Mongolias history and require rethinking if one is to describe such a complex social phenomenon as human sexuality.
