Bensam, who passed away in 1832, is a philosopher who recognized his own social and political achievements not only in the UK but also around the world. In France it was honored as an honorary citizen and Jose del Valle, the leader of Guatemala in Central America, far from Europe, says that "Bentham is the legislator of the world".

Bensham is a person who dedicated his life to the happiness and society of people from life's achievement and is believed to have lived a life far from sexuality and love, and a British literary historianLeslie Stephen"Bentham as a philosopher not only fell in love, it seemed that he had never talked to women at all" he left the word saying.

However, the book published in 2012 "The Origins of Sex: A History of the First Sexual RevolutionIt is written that the character of Bensam against love and sex was mistakenly captured.


Bentham fell in love with one woman at the age of 20 and was considering marrying the woman. However, due to the fact that a woman had an orphanage, Bentham's father strongly opposed the marriage, unfortunately each other goes a different path.

After his father's death, Bentham inherited heritage and lived a surprisingly wealthy life. A nobleman woman named Caroline Fox, at that time was Bentham who changed larih with life. To my surprise, Bentham carefully wrote sexual acts with Fox in his notes, and its contents ranged from sexual skills and posture to even sex toys, "Bentham had sent a life unrelated to women People who evaluated as saying it was blushing enough.

The passion for sex is not a hobby of Bentham, but it is "Maximum number of greatest happinessAs the word shows, it is due to Bentham's way of thinking. At that time in the UK, the British Church banning premarital sexuality negotiations occupied most of the population, sexual intercourse for pleasure purposes was severely restricted. "To promote the economy, it is necessary to release the desire for individuals' pleasures," Bentham said, "Sexual activity is the best of all the pleasures that human beings can earn - most of all pleasures It is universal and easy to get it is sexual activity and I feel happiness far beyond comparison with other pleasures. "He advises politicians and philosophers to remove restrictions on sexual acts, to politicians and philosophers was doing.

The passion that Bentham had against the liberation of sex restrictions is also attributable to British society's oppression of homosexuals for a long time. In the UK at the time in the UK, he was treated as gay, he was subjected to execution or exile from overseas, and Bensam seems to have fear of society discriminating gay people. For Bentham who thought that sex acts would benefit society, sexual intercourse between men was not different from that of men and women.

Current Britain does not have a law prohibiting sexual act, as Bentham truly wanted, sexual activity is regarded as a human act that individuals enjoy freely. However, little is known that Bentham is the first philosopher who advocated sexual freedom.
