context_page_description: Albert Moll 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.
context_section_description: Moll divided the sexual response into four phases: 
  The onset
  The equable voluptuous sensation
  The voluptuous acme
  The sudden diminution and cessation of the voluptuous sensation
  In The Sexual Life of the Child, he encouraged parents to provide sex education to their children.
