Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 3
Analysis of the Sexual Impulse; Love and Pain; The Sexual Impulse in Women
The third volume of Havelock Ellis's Studies in the Psychology of Sex, given here in its revised and enlarged second edition, brings together three studies. The Analysis of the Sexual Impulse reviews the theories of its nature, from the physiologists to the newer work on internal secretions. Love and Pain examines the links between sexual feeling and cruelty or suffering, in animals and humans, along with the conditions then labeled sadism and masochism. The Sexual Impulse in Women argues against the claim that women lack sexual feeling. Appendices discuss the sexual instinct in so-called primitive societies and its development, illustrated with case histories. Ellis writes as a physician, calmly and without moralizing.
