ABSTRACT

IN the foregoing chapter we attempted to co-ordinate the most important factors influencing the social position of woman, and especially those that form the sexual customs of different peoples. As these factors are very numerous and varied, it is easy to believe that they brought about diverse forms of sexual life among different peoples, even among those on the same cultural level. But at the same time, by recognition of their causes, we are enabled to understand the special sexual conditions of individual peoples.
