The book "How We Do It" is a fascinating journey through the history of human sexuality and birth control. The author, with extraordinary erudition and insight, analyzes the cultural, religious, and political changes that have shaped our approach to fertility and sexuality. This richly illustrated and full of metaphorical references publication encourages reflection on today's perception of sexuality and the role of humans in regulating the population. The author emphasizes that our knowledge of the nature of the sexual act, marital fidelity, the advantages of virginity, homosexual relationships, birth control, and abortion is still incomplete and burdened by filters of morality and customs of past eras.

The illustrations by Marianna Szyma are an integral part of this publication. Her metaphorical graphics, referring to well-known works of ancient and contemporary art, add depth and subtlety to the book. The color-restrained graphics, reminiscent of the works of René Magritte, Gustave Caillebotte, Hieronymus Bosch, and William Blake, take the reader into a world of symbols and allegories that have accompanied human sexuality for centuries. These illustrations not only complement the content of the book but also constitute a separate work of art that is worth admiring and interpreting.

"How We Do It" is a book that will certainly encourage reflection on your own approach to sexuality and fertility. The author, through the prism of history, shows how culture, religion, and politics influence our choices and decisions in the intimate sphere. This publication is not only a source of knowledge but also an inspiration to deepen your own beliefs and values in the context of sexuality and interpersonal relationships. The book can also be an excellent starting point for further research and discussions on the history of sexuality and birth control.

The book touches on very important and still relevant issues related to human sexuality. The author tries to answer the question of whether today's human being, when engaging in sexual activity, is free in his choice to have offspring and how over the centuries culture, religion, and politics through a system of commandments and prohibitions have had, have, and will probably continue to have an impact on the regulation of human fertility, interfering in the sexual lives of each of us. This publication is a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand the history and the present of human sexuality.

We heartily recommend it!
