About This Book

The volume examines erotic symbolism, surveying fetishism and symbolic acts and objects (foot and shoe preferences, scatalogic practices, animal-related attractions, exhibitionism) as emotional substitutions for typical sexual objects; it considers how such symbols develop through congenital predisposition, early association, and idealization. It then analyzes the mechanism of detumescence, describing anatomy and physiology of sexual organs, tumescence and release, motor, circulatory and glandular phenomena, properties of semen, and individual variation in sexual response. It concludes with a study of the psychic state in pregnancy, outlining physiological changes, attendant emotions and mental impressions, appetites and cravings, and unresolved psychological questions about maternal feeling.
