Synopsis
Rusbridger, Alan. A Concise History of the Sex Manual 1886 - 1986. First Edition. London, Faber And Faber, 1986. 13 x 21.5 cm. 204 pages with illustrations by Posy Simmonds. Original illustrated softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Stronger traces of foxing to endpapers and pastedowns. Includes for example the following chapters: First Nights / Animal Passions: Human Skills / The Solitary Vice / Breeding: Birds and Bees / Missionary Zeal / Friction and Fantasy / Comings and Goings / Problems and Answers / etc. A compelling and instructive look at one hundred years of the sex manual. Alan Rusbridger surveys a wide rang of published advice and prejudice on sex. It assesses some of the famous and many of the lesser known instructions and warnings from a varied cast of advisers including Victorian doctors, vicars, scout leaders and Californian videos. An incisive, wry, but most of all, surprising assessment of one of the book industry's most lucrative products.
