The Sexual Life of the Child

Albert Moll (1862–1939) was a German psychiatrist and, together with Iwan Bloch and Magnus Hirschfeld, the founder of modern sexology. Moll believed sexual nature involved two entirely distinct parts: sexual stimulation and sexual attraction.

Sexual theories

Moll divided the sexual response into four phases:¹

1. The onset,
2. the equable voluptuous sensation,
3. the voluptuous acme,
4. the sudden diminution and cessation of the voluptuous sensation

Mysticism

Moll was a firm believer in hypnotism,² but not mysticism. He frequently indulged in the unmasking of mediums and séances.³
