In his 1889 novella The Kreutzer Sonata Lev Tolstoy declared war on
human sexuality. Having fathered thirteen children by his wife and
at least two children by peasant women, the great Russian writer
now has the arrogance to suggest that people should stop having
children. Psychoanalysis of Tolstoy's diaries and other private
materials reveals that Tolstoy's anti-sex position was grounded in
a sadistic attitude towards women (including his wife Sonia) and a
punishing, masochistic attitude towards himself. These feelings, in
turn, were related to the trauma of maternal loss in Tolstoy's
early childhood.
