Havelock Ellis

Havelock Ellis was a British physician, writer, and sexologist, known for his pioneering work in the field of human sexuality. Born in 1859, he was an early advocate for sexual reform and contributed significantly to the understanding of sexual health and psychology. Ellis is perhaps best known for coining the term 'narcissism' in the context of sexual behavior, exploring the complexities of human desire and identity. His writings challenged Victorian norms and promoted a more open dialogue about sexuality, making him a significant figure in the sexual revolution of the early 20th century.
