a selection from the PREFACE:  THIS book was planned many years ago. As to the idea running through it, I cannot say when that arose. My feeling is, it was born with me. On reflection, indeed, it seems possible the seeds fell imperceptibly in youth--from F. A. Lange, maybe, and other sources--to germinate unseen in a congenial soil. However that may be, the idea underlies much that I have written. Even the present book began to be written, and to be published in a preliminary form, more than fifteen years ago. Perhaps I may be allowed to seek consolation for my slowness, however vainly, in the saying of Rodin that "slowness is beauty," and certainly it is the slowest dances that have been to me most beautiful to see, while, in the dance of life, the achievement of a civilisation in beauty seems to be inversely to the rapidity of its pace.

Havelock Ellis was one of the first outspoken proponents for the nationalization of the health care systen, without which, there could be no control of epidemics at a national scale. Time has proven him right, time and time again.  TGS Publishing Note: This is a facsimile book of an original printing.

The Criminal

Read before the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology  Sexual psychologist expounds briefly on the importance of 'play' during sex.  Excerpt:  WHEN we hear the sexual functions spo-ken of we commonly understand the per-formance of an act which normally tends to the propagation of the race. When we see the question of sexual abstinence discussed, when the desirability of sexual gratification is asserted or denied, when the idea arises of the erotic rights and needs of women, it is always the same act with its physical results that is chiefly in mind. Such a conception is quite adequate for practical working pur-poses in the social world.  It enables us to deal with all our established human institutions in the sphere of sex, just as the arbi-trary assumptions of Euclid enable us to traverse the field of geometry. But beyond these useful purposes it is inadequate and even inexact. The functions of sex on the psychic and erotic side are of far greater ex-tension than any act of procreation, they may even exclude it altogether, and when we are concerned with the welfare of the in-dividual human being we must enlarge our outlook and deepen our insight.
