Francis Caballero's 'Droit du sexe' Examines Legal Frameworks of Sexuality

Francis Caballero's book 'Droit du sexe', published by LGDJ/Lextinso éditions, offers a legal analysis of sexuality in democratic society. The work traces the historical evolution of laws governing sexual behavior, detailing legislative concerns and the technical vocabulary of sexual experience within a juridical framework. Caballero explores the tension between the private nature of sexual activity and state intervention, addressing philosophical and moral questions about desire, eroticism, and libido. The book concludes with a discussion of pedophilia and recent legislative changes that may exceed acceptable limits of repression. Reviewed by Alexandre Mare, the text is described as a vision of contemporary society and citizenship.
