He also discusses the physical and psychological aspects of sexuality, including the role of hormones and the impact of sexual behavior on mental health. Throughout the book, Scott emphasizes the importance of responsible sexual behavior, arguing that unchecked sexual desire can lead to negative consequences for both individuals and society as a whole.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If it i$ possible to perfect mankind the means of doing so taill be found in the medical sciences. Dbscabtes. PREFACE. This book contains much plain lialking, for which I offer no defence. I ts justification will be found in the body of the work. To see men give rein to their animal passions, subjecting themselves and others to so many risks of which they are ignorant, is intensely saddening. Jeremy Taylor says: It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not. Readers will pardon me for saying that my object is to make them understand their ignorance to enable them to perceive it so that they may have it not. The design of this work is to furnish the non-professional man with a suf Bciently thorough knowledge of matters pertaining to the sexual sphere knowledge which he cannot afford to be without. Ever mindful of the saying of Huxley, that knowledge does not go beyond phenomena, I have endeavored to convey this knowledge in language free as far as possible from technical terms and intelligible to laymen.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
