Features: Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the master of German sexology, embarked on a journey from San Francisco on March 1, 1931, passing through Japan, China, Southeast Asia, India, and Egypt before returning to Germany. The result of this trip was a highly interesting travelogue. It is a work that is both serious in nature and entertaining in content. As a leading expert in sexology, the author conducted a meticulous study of gender relationships in countries across the Far East and Near East during his travels. The term "gender relationships" encompasses a wide range of issues, including sexual customs, marriage, women's movements, women and religion, and sexually transmitted diseases. The author is not only a physician specializing in sexology but also a meticulous folklorist and a first-class literary figure. Therefore, this book is neither a dry academic treatise nor a frivolous diary of a roguish lifestyle. From this book, readers can gain knowledge about many gender-related issues while also learning about how Europeans viewed the gender perspectives of the East.
