This is the first publication of
Jeremy Bentham's essay on "Paederasty," written about 1785.
The essay which runs to over 60 manuscript pages, is the first known
argument for homosexual law reform in England. Bentham advocates the
decriminalization of' sodomy, which in his day was punished by hanging.
He argues that homosexual acts do not "weaken" men, or
threaten population or marriage, and documents their prevalence in
ancient Greece and Rome. Bentham opposes punishment on utilitarian
grounds and attacks ascetic sexual morality. Edited by Louis
Crompton (First published in the 1978 summer and fall issues of Journal
of Homosexuality, v.3:4 & v.4:1, 1978.)
