...never been popular. The pioneers of research into sexuality?Freud, Wilhelm Reich, Havelock Ellis, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Marie Slopes, Alfred Kinsey?were initially vilified. Bill Masters openly acknowledges his debt to these precursors, particularly to Kinsey, whose studies, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), were the first serious attempts to analyze quantitatively the variety and nature of "orgasmic encounters." Kinsey's data were flawed by the narrow range of his interviewed sampling and by his determinedly mechanistic approach to the subject of sex. Nonetheless, his research legitimized the study...
...revolution in our attitude toward sex, Mr. Hefner had, alas, very little to do with it. It was inspired chiefly by Freud, D. H. Lawrence and Havelock Ellis. They made sex respectable, and Hefner made it profitable. If a man deserves to be remembered by posterity for that, then there is something fundamentally wrong somewhere...
Some now defend the fashion on esthetic grounds. "You have this break between your pants and your shoes," explains a Los Angeles display artist. "Two textures. Why ruin it by sticking a third texture in between?" Others now give the trend Havelock Ellis overtones, agreeing, as one Californian puts it, that "hairs on the ankle look provocative."

She met and fell in love with Sexologist Havelock Ellis, but Ellis was already married. In 1922, she married 3-In-One Oil Company Owner J. Noah H. Slee, after planking down a platform of specific demands to assure her independence: she would continue to call herself Margaret Sanger, she and Slee would occupy separate apartments in the same house, they would even telephone each other to arrange such trifles as having dinner together...
...Marquis Xavier de Sade, a direct descendant. It would be impolite to call Lely a sadist, but he certainly is a Sadean, and a doting one at that. Lely hopes that the letters will help readers to "enjoy De Sade's dark erotic paradise without guilt." Freud and Havelock Ellis ("the supreme triumph of human idealism") are cited. Fair enough from these specialists, but Lely insists that one letter can be compared only to "the music of Mozart." In other places, Shakespeare and Aristophanes are somehow invoked. The correspondence foreshadows De Lautreamont, Arthur Rimbaud and Alfred...
