Biography
He published three books that were very popular. In 1923, the volume "What Are You, Woman?" Reflections on the body, soul, sex life, and eroticism of a woman ”( German: Wie bist du, Weib? Betrachtungen über Körper, Seele, Sexualleben und Erotik des Weibes ; English translation 1926, Hungarian translation 1927), followed by a book in 1925 “Woman and Love: An Essay on the Loving Life of Women” ( German: Weib und Liebe; Studie über das Liebesleben des Weibes ; English translation of 1927), finally in 1927 at the Vienna publishing house Fiba-Verlag , just founded by Bauer's wife, a former opera singer Olga Bauer-Piletskaya , a book appeared “Comedian - a whore? A lady of art, life and love in true light ”( German: Komödiantin - Dirne? Der Künstlerin, Leben und Lieben im Lichte der Wahrheit ).
Bauer's books, which spoke in detail about female sexuality and how to satisfy a woman sexually, gained fame in different countries and were reprinted a lot [1] . However, Bauer's view of the female issue was also subordinated to sexual issues in other respects: for example, he deduced the abilities of women in the theater from the history of their participation in erotic dance and prostitution and associated them with women's predisposition to lies and exhibitionism [2] .
In Nazi Germany, Bauer books were banned.
