- The paper explores changing concepts of sexual health in twentieth-century German sex education material for young people. The four main and, at times, overlapping concepts defined sexuality as sinful, as a danger to public health, as a controllable risk to the individual, or as something that had to be negotiated and managed. The paper argues that the notion of “liberalisation” does not help understanding changes in sexual morality and sexual behaviours of young people. Rather, from the late 1960s sex education became part of a neoliberal governmentality strategy that, for instance, introduced contraception as a technology of the self.
