Description: In 1643 Leiden published a work by the German physician Jean-Henri Meibom, "Of the utility of flagellation," defending the use of blows to stimulate sexual activity. This study contextualizes and analyzes this curious and complex approach, as well as the main resurgences of this profoundly original text. (Publisher's website).
