The Functions And Disorders Of The Reproductive Organs In Youth, In Adult Age, And In Advanced Life - Softcover
Synopsis
The Functions And Disorders Of The Reproductive Organs In Youth, In Adult Age, And In Advanced Life by William Acton. The book is a comprehensive Victorian-era medical treatise that surveys the physiology, social context, and moral implications of sexual function across four life periods. Acton presents a four-period framework—Childhood, Youth, Adult, Advanced Life—and first outlines normal function before detailing common disorders such as sexual precocity, continence, masturbation, epilepsy, nocturnal emissions, and disorders of erection, emission, and semen. The work blends physiological discussion with ethical and social commentary, drawing on Carpenter, Lallemand, and Parise, and includes guidance for prevention, hygiene, diet, exercise, and religion's influence on sexual behavior. It discusses marital relations, celibacy, early betrothals, and the legal question of impotence as grounds for nullity of marriage. An appendix provides prescriptions. The tone is didactic and prescriptive, reflecting nineteenth-century concerns about public health, morals, and the physician's role in shaping sexual conduct. It remains a historical touchstone for medical, social, and legal attitudes toward sexuality in its era.
