"Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 1" by Havelock Ellis is a scholarly exploration of human sexuality during the late 1800s. It explores modesty in its relationship to sexual behavior, along with the patterns of sexual cycles and auto-eroticism and seeks to explain the emotional and psychological layers surrounding these topics. Examining customs from different societies throughout history, the book illustrates how cultural ideas about sex develop and shape behavior. It starts with the author's journey into sexual psychology, starting from his youth, and introduces modesty as a central emotion, especially for women. It compares how sex was viewed in the past with more recent understandings, advocating for a science-based view free of moral judgments. It indicates that societal norms significantly shape both men and women's sexual identities and advises an open and honest study of sex to better grasp its importance in human existence.
