Summary
Details

""Onanism Display'd,"" by Anonymous, offers a fascinating glimpse into historical perspectives on sexual ethics and religious views on medicine. This treatise delves into the interpretation of Onan's sin, examining the concept of ""self-pollution,"" its perceived causes, and potential consequences. The book explores the phenomenon of masturbation, then termed ""onanism,"" within a religious framework, alongside discussions of nocturnal emissions.

This volume also includes case studies and opinions from prominent divines, providing a multifaceted view of the subject. A dissertation on generation and anatomical descriptions further enriches the text. Addressing the intersection of medicine and religion, this work provides insight into the social and ethical concerns surrounding sexuality during its time. ""Onanism Display'd"" remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of medicine, religious thought, and the evolution of societal attitudes toward human sexuality.
