A Note on Sexual Hygiene:</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent"> Sexual hygiene was also a topic of monographs. The treatises usually included procedures and recipes useful for enhancing the pleasure of sexual intercourse and for aphrodisiacs, and sometimes procedures for ensuring the production of offspring. They also often included instructions for regimen and hygiene that would make a person more attractive, as well as cosmetic procedures and recipes.</p>

<p class="indent">Al-Shayzarī, one of the physicians to the Egyptian/Syrian ruler Saladin at the time of the Crusades, composed a treatise on sexual hygiene that consists of two parts: the first on the secrets of men and the second on the secrets of women. Each part (<em>juz'</em>) consists of ten chapters (<em>babs</em>). The <em>juz'</em> on the secrets of men has many simple and compound drugs and aphrodisiacs, while the section on secrets of women is concerned with female beauty, cosmetics, the means of attracting men, and, in the final chapter, magical and talismanic procedures. </p>

<p class="indent">The 13th-century scholar al-<a href="bioT.html#tifashi">Tīfāshī</a> composed several treatises concerned with sexual hygiene as well as a treatise on the medical and magical use of stones that was particularly popular. His treatise on sexual hygiene titled <em>Nuzhat al-albāb fī-mā lā yūjadu fī kitāb</em> (<em>The Delight of Hearts concerning What is Not Found in a Book</em>) is in 12 chapters (<em>babs</em>), with poems and anecdotes. It devotes much space to unusual and illegitimate sexual practices. The medical content is not as great in this treatise as in many of the other treatises classified as sexual hygiene, and it might more properly be placed in the category of <em>adab</em>-literature, which is a moralistic type of <em>belles lettres</em>; this genre of literature will be discussed in another section of this catalogue.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">A French translation of the treatise, based on a copy in Paris, has been published as <em>Les Delices des coeurs par Ahmad al-Tifachi</em> trans. by Rene R. Khawam (Paris: J. Martineau, 1971). There is no modern edition of the Arabic text itself. </p>
