Anthropological Studies in the Strange Sexual Practices of All Races in All Ages

Anthropological Studies in the Strange Sexual Practices of All Races in All Ages is a book written by Iwan Bloch, a German physician and sexologist, and first published in 1901. The book is a comprehensive study of human sexuality across different cultures and time periods. It explores various sexual practices, including masturbation, homosexuality, prostitution, and sexual fetishes, among others, and how they have been viewed and practiced in different societies throughout history. Bloch's research is based on a wide range of sources, including ethnographic accounts, medical literature, and historical records. The book is considered a pioneering work in the field of sexology and anthropology, and its frank and detailed discussions of sexual practices were groundbreaking for its time. However, it should be noted that the book reflects the attitudes and biases of its era and may contain outdated or offensive language and ideas.1933.
