With the increasing attention paid to children in the course of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the belief in children being sinful and evil eventually lost its appeal.

In Germany, this can be seen, for instance, in the discussions about the age of consent for sexual relations which the Prussian state raised from twelve to 14 years in Masturbation in the nineteenth century became increasingly understood as a medical problem and, in particular, as a psychological one, with physicians describing sexual feelings in children as deviant and pathological.

In Germany, these changes in the discourse about masturbation were part and parcel of a more scientific and medical approach to children and their upbringing and the institutionalisation of childhood research from the mid-nineteenth century. Another reason for a growing interest in issues of childhood sexuality was that, during the second half of the nineteenth century, sexuality became acknowledged as a key factor in the making of personal identities.

The shaping of sexual identity came to be understood as being part of the personal biography, reaching back to early childhood. In contrast to most of his colleagues, 32 he was less sure about the extent to which masturbation caused hysteria. Although his sample included only four such cases, amongst them a boy aged one and a girl aged six, he suggested a close connection between this sucking and fondling of the genitals and even illustrated this with a drawing of the six-year-old girl.

Amongst them was a Viennese physician, Wilhelm Stekel — He was convinced that just about every other educated person would remember certain experiences from childhood which they did not understand at the time, but which they would recognise now as the onset of their libido.

For instance, boys and girls should have separate bedrooms; beyond the age of four, children should not sleep together with their parents and they should not be allowed in the bed of a child minder or servant. During the night, boys should be regularly checked for erections.

Out of concern about improper behaviour of children, Stekel rejected co-education at school and recommended that boys and girls should only be allowed to play together when watched and never in a dark location. At the same time, in the s, Sigmund Freud was very clear in his denial of an innate sexual drive in infants and young children. He argued that if children showed any form of sexual activity, including masturbation, this was caused by an act of abuse or seduction by an adult or an older child. Then, the sexual experience would be retrieved from the subconscious and revived by the young person, causing all sorts of neurotic symptoms.

In the s, despite many diverse and contradictory theories, most authors agreed that precocious sexual activities in childhood were indicative of a congenital predisposition to perversion. They all asserted that the history of patients diagnosed as suffering from perversion did not differ significantly from those regarded as normal. Albert Moll was among the first to question the dominant assumption that masturbation practised in childhood inevitably led to perversion, including homosexuality, in adulthood. None of the boys involved turned into a homosexual in adulthood.

What helped Moll to develop his argument further was a paper on the development of human sexuality that his Berlin colleague, Max Dessoir, had published in In this paper, Dessoir distinguished two phases in the development of the human sex drive. In this phase, Dessoir argued, pubescent children did not show a clear sexual orientation; they were neither heterosexual nor homosexual and could even become sexually interested in animals or show other perverse orientations.

This, he believed, even applied to sadistic or masochistic tendencies. By extending the undifferentiated phase back into early childhood, Moll then suggested — again in contrast to most of his eminent colleagues at the time, including Freud — that one could already detect an emerging sexual drive in children.

He saw this part of the sex drive as being of a mental and sensual nature. Either of these two aspects of the sexual drive could develop first and, crucially, as Moll claimed, in early childhood. Not only could the contrectation-impulse develop long before the genitals matured during puberty, but so too could the detumescence-impulse.

Finally, Moll suggested that both impulses could develop simultaneously before the onset of puberty. He quoted a case of a seven-year-old girl who had touched the genitals of her three-and-a-half-year-old brother. Likewise, the girl had allowed her younger brother to touch her genitals and, from time to time, she had touched herself. Furthermore, it emerged that the girl blushed in the presence of her brother. It was believed that the girl had developed a certain sexual affection for her brother. To what extent the appearance of these two drives was related to the activities of the gonads was not entirely clear to Moll.

Moll suspected that in some cases a psychosexual puberty could occur without the gonads having matured but assumed that the gonads were still the trigger, albeit in a different way. Either way, Moll emphasised the importance of the gonads for the sexual life because, in his view, they triggered the contrectation-impulse and detumescence-impulse. Inspired by Dessoir and Groos, Moll had, by the end of the s, formulated a groundbreaking new evolutionary theory of the sexual drive that he believed set in during childhood.

Some, however, had no such feelings until puberty. Although the main focus of his paper was on masturbation in adolescence and adulthood, it is quite striking that he saw no reason to elaborate much further on the sexual experiences of these children. Freud was well aware of such spontaneous signs of sexual feelings in children even before , but struggled to bring these observations in line with his seduction theory and his theory of psychoneurosis. In , he warned that the sexual life of children did not begin with puberty but earlier, a fact one should not ignore in his opinion.

Still, Freud did not perceive himself as a latecomer but as a frontrunner in this field. He later argued that infants were actually neutral to sexual feelings during the early years of their life. The previous satisfaction of hunger was now replaced by sexual satisfaction. Freud thought that seduction by adults or other children could cause this return of early infant masturbation, but it could also occur as a spontaneous revival triggered by internal causes.

Moll, in contrast, rejected such a broad understanding of infant sexuality. Around , Viennese avant-garde artists, such as the Secessionists Gustav Klimt — and Oskar Kokoschka — , as well as Anton Kolig — and later Egon Schiele — , were preoccupied with the naked body, and produced a large corpus of drawings and paintings portraying the pre- pubescent nude bodies of boys and girls.

She had been discovered by Kraus and had been with him for a while before Wittels fell in love with her, but she also had relationships with other men. Avant-garde artists often enlisted children as models, which, in some cases, turned out to be contentious. In , for instance, Egon Schiele was in court over allegations of immorality resulting from the display of two erotic drawings in the bedroom of his house in Neulengbach near Vienna where he lived with his then girlfriend, Wally Neuzil, because some of the local children who had visited him had seen these pictures.

Even more serious was the accusation that Schiele, who was twenty-two years of age at the time, had abducted and sexually abused a girl younger than fourteen who had stayed with him overnight. Furthermore, the locals had reported that they had watched Schiele handing out oranges to children in front of the local school.

Many children were seen coming to his house, and the children later mentioned that the artist had often drawn them in the nude. Schiele was taken into custody for twenty-one days and later sentenced to an additional three days of imprisonment for distributing indecent images. The judge acquitted him of the other allegations. Despite this threatening experience, Schiele continued to produce numerous erotic drawings and paintings of adolescent girls and young women, some of them very explicit.

The novel tells, in very explicit and graphic detail, the story of Josefine Mutzenbacher, who was born into a poor Viennese working-class family, how she grew up and became a prostitute, and died in Josefine concluded from this experience: Conversations in coffee-houses and pubs and countless articles in local and national newspapers discussed sexual morality and public nudity, venereal diseases and child prostitution, homosexuality, sex scandals and the sexual abuse of children.

Married and in his mid-forties, he had been accused of sexually abusing underage girls over many years. After avoiding prosecution for nearly two decades by bribing police officers, potential witnesses and journalists, Sternberg was arrested in January and brought to court. Albert Moll was one of the expert witnesses advising the court about the credibility of a key witness, a girl of about 12 years.

In December , Sternberg was convicted and sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment in a Zuchthaus and the loss his of civil rights Ehrverlust for five years. Moll, however, remained convinced that Sternberg was wrongfully convicted. A small number of reviewers took a more critical stance. The Sexual Life of the Child was rich in detail and came with a plethora of case studies to substantiate his claims, but Moll failed to take the research agenda intellectually any further. On the basis of his distinction between the detumescence-impulse and the contrectation-impulse, he explained the physical signs eg.

He rejected the claims of the American psychologist Sanford Bell, who suggested that infants as young as two years old would show psychosexual symptoms. Moll thought these claims were not sufficiently substantiated in their sexual basis. Eventually, in children aged eight, manifestations of the contrectation-impulse became so frequent that, as Moll concluded, they were no longer either pathological or abnormal. The undifferentiated psyche during childhood allows us to understand, that such contrary sexual [ie.

Consequently, he did not perceive erections in baby boys as being of a sexual nature. In his view they were most of the time expressions of a general sense of comfort Behagen.

As his careful phrasing indicated, he seemed to acknowledge that, in rare cases, babies, and children aged seven to eight, have experienced an orgasm. Yet, Moll believed that most children would not have had such an experience, but a more constant voluptuous feeling. But it was not only Moll who attacked Freud over his understanding of infant and childhood sexuality. Within the psychoanalytical movement, a fundamental critique came from C.

Jung believed that this was too much centred on sexuality. Although Jung agreed with Freud over a link between the nutritive and sexual function of libido, Jung saw libido as a form of energy that changed its function during childhood. By the end of this phase, libido eventually would be stripped of all the characteristics and functions it showed during early infancy.

Perversions, then, would be the consequence of an incomplete or disrupted change of function in libido. Most psychologists had rejected Freudian psychoanalysis until this point. In a polemical and intellectually sharp analysis, William Stern, for instance, professor of psychology at Breslau University and at the time more prominent than Freud, criticised the application of psychoanalytical theories to infants and children.

He accused psychoanalysts of going much too far by detecting something sexual everywhere and in everyone. This would lead to, as he called it, an Entharmlosung of sexuality making sexuality not harmless or innocent in the young.

Write a customer review. Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. I'm going to say right off the bat that this book is definitely not for everyone. Many of the stories feature some very specific kinks that to most will no doubt be gut wrenching. I listed some of the worst in my warnings below as a fair warning for those that haven't read the book. There are good number of stories in this collection that are pretty disturbing and violent, that made me really uncomfortable reading.

Introduction

I could never recommend this book to the average reader looking for your run of the mill pornography. I will however say that I understand why this book is hailed as a literary masterpiece and has become a pioneer of feminist fiction. The stories written for this compilation were all commissioned by a private collector that had instructed Nin to exclude romance and poetry in favor of graphic and sexually explicit stories, which she carried out the latter in great detail.

Despite this, Nin was still able to add her personal touch that gave many of the short stories several layers that went beyond sex and explored themes of love, sensuality, and female eroticism as compared to men. She places great distinction between male and female sexuality that is presented elegantly even against the most graphic and sordid scenes. The biggest issue I had with this collection, besides the distressing nature of many of the stories, was the focus on a set of recurring characters over the course of multiple stories.
