Sex Manual from 1947 - Gift or Insinuation?

So my next door neighbor, Colleen, gave me three books yesterday. Fanny Hill, The Happy Hooker, and a sex manual from 1947. It made me happy because "hey, classic porn.", but then it made me wonder. If she thinks I need these three books, what does that say about me? hmmm. Obviously I need some help. I will begin my education with the 1940's manual. It seems to be the most clinical with brief moments of out of date hilarity.

The Q&A on the copyright page initially caught my eye.

Q. Is it wise to marry a person who thinks sex shameful?


A. It's Risky, according to the International YMCA. I wish every boy and girl could read their booklet "Petting: Wise or Otherwise."  If this attitude against sex is not overcome by a tactful partner, says this pamphlet, it is about like marrying a feeble-minded person. Hosts of married couples are morons about sex.

This manual is assuming that everyone reading it is married or about to be. Oh dear. Well. I am not and don't want to be, but I will persevere anyway.

I would like to thank Dr. Robert B. Greenblatt for writing "Sex Manual: For Those Married or About To Be. Written for the Layman."  As a Layman, I am very appreciative.
