The Invasion of Compulsory Sex Morality

Summary

The Invasion of Compulsory Sex Morality (original German title Der Einbruch der Sexualmoral) is a book written by Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich[1][2] and published in 1931. The book details Reich's theories of the causes of sexual neuroses,[3] and attempts to explain them in historical, as opposed to Marxist or Freudian terms.[4][5]

The first two editions (1931 & 1934) were in German[6] - the third edition (1951) was the first to be translated into and published in English, and had a different foreword.[7] In the prefaces to the three editions, Reich discusses not only the book itself, but also events (such as the rise of Nazism) current at the time of publication.[8][9]

Reich drew heavily on the work of Malinowski, especially his The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia (1929).[10]

In 2015 the book remains in print and is in the collections of hundreds of libraries around the world.[11]
