| During the eighteenth century, new ideals, theories and practices of masculinity and sexuality developed in the countries of Northwestern Europe. This article discusses these ideals mainly using the example of the life and the works of Marquis de Sade (1740-1814). While old ideals of Christian or noble masculinity demanded chastity or restraint and new enlightened ideals demanded vigour and control, de Sade's perspective stressing sexual humiliation was in stark conflict with both the old and new ideas on male honour, masturbation and same-sexual acts. The article discusses de Sade's life and some of his works before reviewing his philosophy and his views on masculinity and sexuality. It ends with the importance of de Sade's work for the ideas and the culture of enlightenment. | |
