London: Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd, 1967. First edition. Very Good +/very good +. The medical profession in its public posture vis-a-vis sex has often shown a remarkable tendency to work the oracle not only for conventional morality, but for its most extreme reactionary wing. As the theological moralistic sanction of sin has waned, the equally moralistic medical sanctions of the 'healthy', the 'normal' or the 'mature' have been consciously and unconsciously used to take its place, causing much anxiety to vulnerable people. The author has worked through the whoie range of this extra-ordinary literature with characteristic style. The result is a highly readable book of great importance. black boards with writing to spine. some bumping and shelfwear. dj not price clipped and mylar covered.clean pages and tight binding. owner inscription in ink.some slight foxing to top edge.
