- Abstract:
- This article examines a genre of medical sex advice literature that emerged in colonial Australia at the close of the 19th century. While historians have examined medical discourse as a site for the production of raced bodies, this article points out that in the settler colonial context of Australia, what is notable is the systematic *absence* of Aboriginal people from this discourse.
