About This Book

The treatise examines sexual attraction through biological, psychological, and pathological lenses, tracing amatory emotions in light of organic evolution and outlining relevant anatomy and physiology. It compares male and female impulses and argues that shared pathological forms indicate comparable normal intensities, thereby questioning the moral double standard applied to sexes. Clinical sections discuss disorders of sexual function and neurally related conditions, and practical material includes technical vocabulary and illustrative figures. The work integrates theoretical, clinical, and ethical considerations to present a comprehensive medical study of desire and its disturbances.
