>was there war crimes there or sthThe Weimar Republic was the Germany from before WW2. Or before Hitler rose to power, more precisely. Some people cite it as one of the reasons why so many Germans voted for him. Others say that something similar will follow during our times too, sooner or later. But I'm not sure if I believe them. Weimar Berlin was infamous for its degeneracy. You had prostitutes for pretty much every fetish. Mothers would even prostitute their own little daughters and offer services as a pair, for example. Crossdressing was rampant too, and apparently the first trans operation was conducted there. Or maybe it was only scheduled to be, I can't remember the details of that one. Bloch was one of the people who encouraged that sort of lifestyle.

Well that's what he was accused of, that his "research" was only a long list of his own fetishes. Most of his work was burned by the Nazis later, though some of it survived. It is thanks to him that homosexuality is not viewed as a mental illness anymore.
But you know, and though it may not seem like it, I am not in favour of turning sex into a science. It deprives something that should be an intimate and meaningful moment between two people who love one another of all its beauty.
