The British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology (BSSSP) was founded in 1913, "to advance a particularly radical agenda in the field of sex reform, based on the writings of gurus such as [Edward] Carpenter and [Havelock] Ellis."[1]Magnus Hirschfeld, the famous German-Jewish sexologist, was also a co-founder.[2] In 1931, the Society was renamed the British Sexological Society.[3] It seems to have continued until some point in the 1940s.
The society had established a number of contacts in the United States, including Margaret Sanger, who gave a speech to the group on the issue of sexual continence.[5] The BSSSP had planned to form an American branch.[6]
