About This Book

This volume collects three studies that examine sexual psychology from historical, anthropological, physiological, and clinical perspectives. The first traces the origins and cultural variations of modesty, using ethnographic comparisons to show how social habit and secrecy shape sexual feeling. The second surveys cyclical sexual rhythms in humans and other animals, discussing physiological periodicity and its psychological effects. The third analyzes auto-erotic behavior through case reports and scientific literature, distinguishing common from pathological forms and surveying moral and medical responses. Throughout, the author favors candid empirical inquiry, challenges prudish secrecy, and seeks to separate natural variation from disorder.

Psychopathia Sexualis, eighth edition, pp. 8 and 11. Gannouchkine ("La Volupté, la Cruanté et la Religion," Annales Medico-Psychologique, 1901, No. 3) has further emphasized this convertibility.

E. Murisier, "Le Sentiment Religieux dans l'Extase," Revue Philosophique, November, 1898. Starbuck, again (Psychology of Religion, Chapter XXX), in a brief discussion of this point, concludes that "the sexual life, although it has left its impress on fully developed religion, seems to have originally given the psychic impulse which called out the latent possibilities of developments, rather than to have furnished the raw material out of which religion was constructed."

Published for the first time (with a Preface by Charcot) in a volume of the Bibliothèque Diabolique, 1886.

The Hebrews, themselves, used the same word for the love of woman and for the Divine love (Northcote, Christianity and Sex Problems, p. 140).

Thus, in St. Theresa's Conceptos del Amor de Dios, the words "Beseme con el beso de su boca,"—Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—constantly recur.

Leuba and Montmorand, in their valuable and detailed studies of Christian mysticism, though differing from each other in some points, are agreed on this; H. Leuba, "Les Tendances Religieuses chez les Mystiques Chrétiens," Revue Philosophique, July and Nov., 1902; B. de Montmorand, "L'Erotomanie des Mystiques Chrétiens," id., Oct., 1903. Montmorand points out that physical sexual manifestations were sometimes recognized and frankly accepted by mystics. He quotes from Molinos, a passage in which the famous Spanish quietist states that there is no reason to be disquieted even at the occurrence of pollutions or masturbation, et etiam pejora.
