This classic work, first published in 1928, concentrates on the cultivation of the technique of eroticism as an art in marriage. It sets the sexual relationship in the nostalgic prose of a more leisured age.

A Book To Jazz Up Your Marriage,
By Garland R.Goesch (Modesto, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ideal Marriage Its Physiology and Technique (Hardcover)
This book was first written in 1929, and is just as up to date today as when it first came out. I first read this book in the early sixties on recommendation from another book I was reading at the time. Since then I have given it as a wedding gift to newly weds, and have purchased other copies to give away.This book could be a little dificult for some, as it is authored by a Gynocologist, to be read primaraly by his peers. However, if one who is unfamiliar with all the medical terms will persevere,they can derive much knowledge, and enjoyment from this book. There are some great homework chapters that should prove beneficial to a couple. In all, it is a very intresting, and informative book.

Easily read, Valuable for Youth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ideal Marriage, Its Physiology and Technique (Hardcover)
Treats the subject with calmness and truth. Does not try to make sex into a science. The subject of initial intercourse and how to have this with respect and calm on both partners part was invaluable. Also the discussion of positions vis a vis weight has proven quite correct. Again, an easy read and should be mandatory before initial intercourse.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An incredibly frank highly useful source.,
This review is from: Ideal Marriage, Its Physiology and Technique (Hardcover)
I found an early print edition of this work in a GoodWill store. This is easily the best work I have ever read on the subject; balanced, calm, authoritative.
Highly useful, practical information truly sets this work apart; the reverence the author shows for marital intimacy sets this work head and shoulders above similar works of our so-called modern age. Highly recommended.
