    Gay Sex and the City: London

    The history of homosexuality in the city of London goes back hundred of years. Although the typical cruising was  documented since the 1700s, this city formed its own culture within the homosexual community that eventually led to the infancy of the modern gay rights movement. During this time the science of sexology was born and the first steps in the process of understanding same-sex attraction laid the framework for truly understanding homosexuality once and for all.
