The Science of Sex Regeneration

About this book

Sexual energy becomes a matter of spiritual discipline in The Science of Sex Regeneration. The author argues that habits of desire and restraint affect the whole course of human development.

The work belongs to a period when occult fraternities and reform movements used the language of science to advance elaborate theories of vitality. Its claims about regeneration should be understood as historical belief, with no reason to treat them as medical advice. The intensity of its argument reveals how questions of the body became bound up with ideas of purity, personal power and salvation.
