By Heinrich Kaan,Benjamin A. Haynes,Melissa Haynes

"With Heinrich Kaan's e-book we've got then what should be known as the date of delivery, or as a minimum the date of the emergence, of sexuality and sexual aberrations within the psychiatric field."⎯Michel Foucault, irregular: Lectures on the Collège de France, 1974–1975

Heinrich Kaan’s interesting work—part scientific treatise, half sexual taxonomy, half activist assertion, and half anti-onanist tract—takes us again to the origins of sexology. He hyperlinks the sexual intuition to the mind's eye for the 1st time, developing what Foucault known as “a unified box of sexual abnormality.” Kaan’s taxonomy contains six sexual aberrations: masturbation, pederasty, lesbian love, necrophilia, bestiality, and the violation of statues. Kaan not just inaugurated the sphere of sexology, yet performed an important position within the regimes of information construction and self-discipline approximately psychiatric and sexual matters.

As Benjamin Kahan argues in his advent, Kaan’s textual content crucially permits us to determine how homosexuality changed masturbation because the vital predicament of Euro-American sexual legislation. Kaan’s paintings (translated into English for the 1st time right here) opens a brand new window onto the background of sexuality and the heritage of sexology and reconfigures our figuring out of Richard von Krafft-Ebing’s publication of an analogous identify, released a few 40 years later.
