First Intercourse 1947 style

As I was thumbing through the sex manual one of the chapters really stood out. First Intercourse. I say chapters, but it is actually half a page. I guess first intercourse wasn't as important as lubricants which was two and a half pages long. I will cover 1947 lubricants later since most of them sounded unsanitary and painful. It was just to much to bear today. On to first intercourse.

"It is superfluous to say the man should be most considerate and the personification of tenderness. The woman should be courted and petted to the point of accute passion, everything being done to reassure her. With her full consent and cooperation the first embraces should be successful--unless there is too small an orifice. If entrance cannot be effected without too much discomfort to the woman, the act should be postponed until the orifice can be surgically enlarged."

I think being courted and petted sounds excellent, and this is actually pretty good advice except for the slicing the vagina open part. Evidently doctors didn't realize that the vagina is pretty stretchy and the first thought was to "surgically enlarge" it.  Eek.

I can just hear the bragging. "My wife had to be surgically enlarged...if you know what I mean." nudge, nudge. wink, wink.

Oh, 1947 man with the abnormally large penis, please be patient and slow. Your penis will fit eventually.
