pp70 + p2 publisher's announcements. A soft cover, pocket sized guide to sexual relations, placing some stress on women's right to pleasure, but far more on the need to avoid anyone carrying venereal diseases. Syphilis at this date was still close to uncurable.

First published in February 1941, this is the July 1943 "eighth edition" (ie reprinting).
