In this richly textured history, Kara French investigates ideas about, and practices of, sexual restraint to better understand the sexual dimensions of American identity in the antebellum US. French considers three groups of Americans whose sexual abstinence provoked almost as much social, moral, and political concern as the idea of sexual excess.
