The Best of Sexology collects a range of articles from Hugo Gernsback’s groundbreaking Sexology magazine (1933-83), whose mission was to make “sex” and information about sex a topic for open and honest discussion. The articles range from tabloid-worthy subjects like human-animal crossbreeds and BDSM essays that were more titillation than information to issues like transgenderism and maintaining healthy sexual relationships. Of this latter category, two examples that stood out to me were an essay written by who we would call a trans-woman today in the November 1959 issue narrating her journey from living as a man to (through a lucky break) finally being able to live as a woman. Another essay, from the May 1954 edition, begins, “Biologists, sexological scientists and researchers increasingly have come to the conclusion that there is no such individual as a 100% male or a 100% female.” Of the former sort, there’s the May 1940 article claiming to be able to determine a woman’s personality based on the shape of her legs. Or the two-part “Mechanics of Sexual Odor” (Nov-Dec 1945), which contains gems like: “Red-haired women have a stronger odor than brunettes; blondes have a milder odor. The odor of brunettes has been compared to that of ebony wood; that of blondes to the odor of amber…. The fact that prostitutes have a definite odor – an unpleasant rancid odor – has long been recognized” and “According to Jäger, homosexuals cannot find sexual satisfaction with a woman because to homosexuals the whole woman smells bad, particularly her breasts and lap.”The Best of Sexology is an interesting snapshot into the constant struggle to understand human sexuality as opposed to condemning and persecuting it as too many of us today would like to do. It often crosses the line into sensationalism over professionalism but it always presented its subjects in a sympathetic light (and, yes, often a patronizing, sexist and/or racist one but still a far cry from the usual self-righteous persecutions of society at large).
