1769 Tissot Horrors of Masturbation Medicine Swiss Sexuality Onanism Coitus

Samuel Tissot was an 18th-century Swiss physician known for his many medical treatises on various diseases including epilepsy and the shocking accounts of masturbation. This famous work, Tissot’s most famous work, is a classic and well-known treatise on onanism. ‘L’onanisme’ was more than likely written to dissuade engaging in this activity from a medical viewpoint; however, there is a more likely attempt by Tissot to implement his moral and ethical views within this text as well.
