Most writers on sex are liberals these days. There can be little doubt that progressive views are
fashionable; they
are also, some of us may believe, desirable. At the moment it is relatively easy to be liberal and
progressive, a
situation which we largely owe to the early progressive writers in the field of sex. Among
these Havelock Ellis
was perhaps the most significant. In Brecher's nice phrase Havelock Ellis (18591939) was "the
first of the
Yea-Sayers." He contributed vastly to an enlargement of man's view of human sexuality; and
he brought to all
his work a humanistic sympathy and tolerance which have informed psychosexual therapy and
research ever
since. Healer and educator, writer and scholar, Havelock Ellis recorded the results of his
studies in a
multi-volume work, "Studies in the Psychology of Sex", which he published and
periodically revised in the years
between 1896 and 1928. This monumental work was first published in America, English
prudery being too
vigorous to allow the book to be published here!
