[[Sex and Culture]] is a book by [[J. D. Unwin]] concerning the correlation between a society's level of 'cultural achievement' and its level of sexual restraint. Published in 1934, the book concluded with the theory that as societies develop, they become more sexually liberal, accelerating the social entropy of the society, and thereby diminishing its "creative" and "expansive" energy.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.eoht.info/page/Joseph+Unwin|title= Joseph Unwin|last= Carnot|first= Sadi|date= 2017|website= www.eoht.info|publisher= Hmolpedia|access-date= 4 December 2018|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Unwin|first= Joseph D.|date= 1934|title= Sex and Culture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I8YguAEACAAJ|location= |publisher= Oxford University Press|page=412 |isbn= 1979867046|author-link= J.
