The Biology, Physiology and Sociology of Reproductionalso Sexual Hygiene with Special Reference to the Male

A scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book addresses various aspects of human reproduction, focusing particularly on sexual physiology and hygiene, with a specific emphasis on the male perspective. It aims to provide accurate information on a subject often shrouded in ignorance and prejudice, striving to promote a healthier understanding of reproductive processes. At the start of the text, the author introduces the foundational concept of reproduction from a biological standpoint, categorizing living organisms' activities into egoistic and phyletic activities. He outlines the fundamental role of reproduction in maintaining the species and emphasizes the importance of parental support and protection of offspring throughout developmental stages. Hall also reveals that the book was inspired by student requests for more information about sexual health, reflecting a growing need within educational contexts for frank discussions about such crucial topics, particularly in the context of male adolescents.
