Links on the History of Friendship, Romantic Friendship, Romance, and Sexuality

This site contains links to historical research sites on the history of love and  related topics. Sites that address the subject of the history of romantic friendship are specially noted, as this topic is often tucked away in sites devoted to other topics.

The list is concise rather than inclusive; I have tried to pick some of the best Websites for research in this area.

Some of the sites linked below address topics of sexuality. Parental guidance is suggested.

This directory is maintained by Dusk Peterson. Fiction by Dusk Peterson is available, including works of friendship fiction, heterosexual love stories, and gay love stories. More sites on the literature and history of friendship, romance, romantic friendship, and sexuality are available at this domain.
