First sex educator
Aristotle was the main sex educator in antiquity and remained as the provider of basic source
material for many
centuries afterwards. His philosophical and scientific literary output was so enormous that it
has been speculated
that many of the works attributed to Aristotle were in fact written by his pupils. Aristotelian
treatises on animals,
childbirth, etc. continued to circulate well into the nineteenth century, even when it could be
shown that a fair
portion of what was said in the name of Aristotle was little short of absurdity. At the same
time a number of
Greek insights were preserved over the centuries. Aristotle describes the persistence of sexual
prowess to high
ages and points out that acquired characteristics are not normally transmitted. Sometimes - as
with the little
edition of The Masterpiece of Aristotle from the nineteenth- century - authors without any
particular merit tried
to borrow authority from the Master.
