The glass of water theory is a doctrine affirming that in communist society the satisfaction of sexual desires and love will be as simple and unimportant as drinking a glass of water.[1] The theory is commonly associated with Alexandra Kollontai, although such characterization ignores the complexity of her theoretical work.[2][3] Anatoly Lunacharsky criticised the theory in his article "On Everyday Life: Young People and the 'Glass of Water' Theory".[4] The place theory held in the Soviet ideological framework was replaced by 12 Sexual Commandments of the Revolutionary Proletariat by Aron Zalkind.[5]
1929 is considered the year of the end of the Bolshevik sexual revolution and the theory of the glass of water as the basis of this revolution. However, a number of researchers in the history of the sexual revolution in the USSR argue that the sexual revolution formally ended in 1935 with the advent of a formal law criminalizing pornography.[6]
