TOWARD MANHOOD

Some plain spoken, sensibly based advice about sex, in an attempt to deflect information away from the street corner and into the home, and to provide some balanced moral guidance along with physiological fact. This covers the fundamentals of reproduction- in the male and female; the prickly phase of adolescence; some misconceptions about masturbation, etc.; boy-girl relationships and the necessary controls, the possible results of incontinence and the perils of petting; venereal disease; and sexual excess and deviations. Bundesen, the former Health Commissioner of Chicago and newspaper columnist, writes- but not down- for a younger audience.
