  Havelock Ellis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Havelock Ellis (February 2, 1859 - July 8, 1939), known as Havelock Ellis, was a British doctor, sexual psychologist and social reformer.
Ellis, son of Edward Peppin Ellis and Susannah Mary Wheatley, was born at Croydon, then a small town south of London.
According to Ellis in My Life, his friends were much amused at his being considered an expert on sex considering the fact that he suffered from impotence until the age of 60, when he discovered that was able to become aroused by the sight of a woman urinating.

 Reviews in History:
Nottingham suggests that Ellis and his milieu need to be exa mined within a framework of generational revolt, in particular the late nineteenth century rebellion against the cherished ideals and conventions of Victorianism.
Ellis can be and often has been characterised as the product of a specific late nineteenth century moment, a last Victorian rather than an early modernist/m oderniser (though his influence on modernism in the widest sense has only begun to be explored with any seriousness).
The agents of the transformation of society as Ellis envisaged it were not politicians and statesmen but ‘the doctor in his consulting room, the te acher in the school, the preacher in the pulpit, the journalist in the press’ (p.

 Browne: Havelock Ellis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Yet I think it is evident to any careful student of Havelock Ellis' work, who is also unafraid of life, that his most characteristic quality is the power of seeing things as they are: instead of things as convention, tradition, economic stress, religion, law (to a large extent) and literature complacently assume them to be.
Havelock Ellis has spoken excellently of woman the worker and citizen, and woman the mother: and above all, of woman the lover and beloved.
It is perhaps not too much to say that Havelock Ellis never made a book for the safe of making a book, but that every volume has been done with the purpose of putting its stamp upon the life of the times.

 Havelock Ellis
Cerebral, withdrawn Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), more likely to be seen sunning his long, thin frame on his garden lawn than exerting his influence in any public sphere, was to Margaret Sanger and many feminists and sex reformers in the early 20th century a heroic presence.
Ellis's six volume Studies in the Psychology of Sex, published between 1897 and 1928, and widely publicized as the result of censorship battles in England, challenged accepted modes of sexual conduct and even the institution of marriage while advocating non-procreative sex as a natural and healthy human function.
Ellis securely linked women's sexual liberation and pleasure to social stability, a belief that Sanger heralded, and an equation that she recognized would necessarily require birth control...

Ellis is a good observer of human behavior and when he says that "the Spaniard shows that he is entitled to courtesy by knowing how to return it", the strength of his observations lends credence to his judgement.
Reading Ellis, we are reminded that there is also a social sense in which it is valuable to consider the term, and here Spain's history is quite rich.
Ellis' artistic judgements are, on the other hand, often baffling, even comical.

 Dienekes' Anthropology Blog: Havelock Ellis on British brunettes
I had previously written about Havelock Ellis' study at the National Portrait Gallery.
Recently, I came across an interesting excerpt by Ellis, which confirms my impression that brunettes are overrepresented in the British aristocracy, and gives an evolutionary explanation for this phenomenon.
It was thus pleasantly surprising to see that this preference for dark hair is nothing new, but was noticed almost a century ago, and indeed by Havelock Ellis, whose escapade in the National Portrait Gallery was intended to show the alleged "superiority" of blonds.

 summary, 1896:  Ellis Publishes "Sexual Inversion"
Ellis rejected both the notion that inversion is a crime and the views of Ulrichs, Westphal, and Hirschfeld who all agreed that male inverts are effeminate.
By 1903, Ellis work was accepted by a respected American publisher and enjoyed many English language editions.
Ellis was an explorer of sexuality rather than a systematic thinker and never gained the following or notoriety of his contemporary Sigmund Freud who rejected Ellis' congenital theories in 1905.

 Edith Lees Ellis
The main feminist conceptualisation of women's close relationships from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century characterises these as 'romantic friendships' and argues that a stereotype of 'the lesbian' was invented by sexologists such as Havelock Ellis and applied to these relationships in order to condemn them.
In the case of Emily Wilding Davison's close relationship with Mary Leigh there is simply too little historical evidence to be able to draw any conclusions as to its character or its meaning for the women concerned.
In addition, Edith Lees Ellis has been seen as a woman whose romantic friendships were 'morbidified' as lesbianism by her husband Havelock Ellis, although in this case archival evidence clearly shows that she certainly saw herself as a 'invert'.

 "The Great Prevalence of Sexual Inversion": Havelock Ellis on Gay Life in the American City
From the Civil War through the 1920s, in New York and other American cities, there were numerous clubs, saloons, and dance halls known for transvestism (men or women dressing as the opposite sex), for male prostitution, or as places that catered to a “gay crowd”—meaning men and women interested in a less conventional evening’s entertainment.
At the same time, psychologists, physicians, and social reformers had been at work attempting to study, classify, categorize, and label human sexual behavior.
In an excerpt from his 1915 book, British physician and psychologist Havelock Ellis, a pioneer in the emerging field of human sexuality, mapped out for his readers the culture of “sexual inversion” in American cities, reflecting how practices that had long been common, or at least tolerated, were suddenly viewed as problematic.

 summary:  Havelock Ellis
Though he was trained as a doctor, Englishman Havelock Ellis never practiced medicine.
His most controversial book, Sexual Inversion, was suppressed in England because it advocated tolerance, but it eventually garnered a wide following in England and the U. Ellis' interest in sex and sexuality probably came from his own unorthodox tastes; He was a confirmed masturbator and found female urination exquisitely stimulating.
A diffident man disinterested in fame or followers, Ellis never gained the following of his contemporary Sigmund Freud, but his collected works on sex, Studies in the Psychology of Sex, went through many editions.

The moths and the butterflies, the African ostrich and the Sumatran argus pheasant, with their fellows innumerable, have been the precursors of man in the strenuous school of erotic dancing, fitting themselves for selection by the females of their choice as the most splendid progenitors of the future race.
In our own time, Nietzsche, from first to last, showed himself possessed by the conception of the art of life as a dance, in which the dancer achieves the rhythmic freedom and harmony of his soul beneath the shadow of a hundred Damoclean swords.
