A medical and philosophical treatise on sex and reproduction in humans, discussing anatomy and physiology as well as pregnancy, etc. Cowan also discusses "amativeness" and excessive sex, in euphemistic terms, blaming alcohol, too much meat, coffee and other substances for increase in sexual desires.
