Sex problems of man in health and disease : a popular study in sex knowledge

This early twentieth‑century handbook tackles the subject of male sexuality with a frank, matter‑of‑fact style that was uncommon for its time. Written from the perspective of a practicing physician, it frames sexual health as both a personal and a social issue, arguing that clear knowledge can counteract moral decay and the spread of disease. The author stresses that useful instruction must avoid moralistic preaching and instead speak directly to the everyday experiences of men and boys.

The guide walks listeners through the anatomy and natural regulation of the sexual organs before moving on to common problems such as impotence, infections, and the consequences of self‑abuse. It devotes entire sections to venereal illnesses—especially gonorrhea—detailing symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and how these conditions affect marriage and work life. Throughout, practical advice on prevention, self‑care, and when to seek professional help is offered in plain language, making the material accessible to anyone seeking a solid foundation in sexual hygiene.
