In Austrian history sexology is primarily associated with Sigmund Freud and hiscompanions. Apart from Freud and some other university professors, a few doctorswere dealing with sexology like e. g. Helene Stourzh-Anderle (1890-1966). She startedcourses in sexual education in the 1920s, dealt with the female orgasm and hormonetherapies from the 1930s to the 1960s and criticized common legislative proposalsconcerning eugenics. She based her studies primarily on biological analysis.Furthermore, her theories were far away from modern feminist approaches.
