A. D. Tissot is a medical treatise that appears to have been written in the late 18th century. The work discusses the physiological and moral implications of self-pollution, exploring its detrimental effects on physical health and well-being. It aims to alert readers to the dangers associated with this practice, presumably targeting a lay audience who may be unaware of its potential consequences. At the start of this treatise, the author provides a preface detailing the intent behind the work and its revisions. Tissot expresses his belief in the utility of addressing the topic to educate the public about the health risks linked to self-pollution, described as a "crime." He emphasizes that the work is focused on medical maladies resulting from this vice rather than the moral implications. The opening segments present symptoms, causes, and prevalent observations from both ancient and contemporary physicians regarding the negative effects of excessive self-stimulation. Several alarming anecdotes and case studies illustrate the physical and psychological suffering that may arise from such behavior, establishing a grave tone that underscores the urgency of the subject matter.
