New York: Croton Book Company. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 1962. Reprint. Hardcover. "To show the psychic modifications that must be made in the average young man and woman, and then to show the physical adaptations necessary for them to become and remain true married lovers, is my present purpose, made difficult by a deeply intrenched ignorance and prejudice, by a whole psychology of erroneous sex thinking, and by a pathological physiology of married love." - Preface. "We surely need greater frankness and sincerity in dealing with this very complex topic of sex, and must rid ourselves of cant, puritanism and taboos. Dr. Robie has done this fearlessly, and with an honesty and singleness of purpose that commands respect and an open-minded hearing." -Marianna Taylor, M.D. A reprint of this work first published in the 1920s. "Dr. Robie was Superintendant of the Pine Terrace Sanitarium in Massachusetts. His chief crusade was for the 'normalization' of masturbation, which he saw as much less of an evil than use of prostitutes and yet something almost universally criticized in popular sex education literature." - Nancy Sahli in 'Women and Sexuality in America - A Bibliography.'
