Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 1 The Evolution of Modesty; The Phenomena of Sexual Periodicity; Auto-Erotism

The author draws on a life split between bustling city streets and the quiet Australian bush to confront the persistent mystery of human sexuality. With a frank, sincere tone, he argues that secrecy only deepens confusion, likening the hidden nature of sex to the absurdity of never speaking openly about eating. By advocating clear, respectful discussion, he sets the stage for a systematic look at the forces that shape our sexual lives.

The text proceeds to examine three core areas: how modesty has evolved across cultures, the regular rhythms that govern sexual desire, and the often‑overlooked phenomenon of self‑pleasure. Blending observations from ordinary individuals with insights from medical cases, the author seeks to separate fact from myth without moralizing. Readers are offered a thoughtful, historically grounded perspective that encourages honest reflection on a subject that continues to shape personal and social well‑being.
