Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 5 by Havelock Ellis
"Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 5" by Havelock Ellis is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on topics related to erotic symbolism, the physiological process of detumescence, and the psychological aspects of pregnancy in relation to sexuality. It delves into the complex nature of sexual expression and variances, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of sexual psychology and its broader implications on morality and
social norms. At the start of the volume, Ellis introduces the overarching theme of erotic symbolism, proposing that a range of sexual aberrations and fetishes arise when the focus of sexual attraction deviates from a person to certain objects or acts. He emphasizes the concept of symbolism in human sexuality and outlines various categories of erotic symbols, including those related to body parts, inanimate objects, and specific actions. This opening sets the stage for more detailed analyses of the intricate connections between psychological processes and sexual behavior, guiding the reader through the initial theoretical explorations that will follow throughout the volume.
