This book is the fruit of long experience and reflection. It has two fundamental ideas—the study of nature, and the study of the psychology of man in health and in disease.
“It is imperative that every man and woman shall know (1) the complete facts of normal sexual life, i.e. the physical conditions of reproduction; and (2) so much of sex pathology as is necessary in order to avoid the many pitfalls existing round them. The highest praise we can give Prof. Forel’s book is to say that it meets this need. It is ‘a scientific, psychological, hygienic, and sociological study’ of the sexual question.”—The New Age.
