Sánchez "depicted human nature as strongly sexualized and proclaimed that a wide range of sexual pleasures could be enjoyed in marriage without being tainted by mortal sin" Watt. The Church disagreed with his permissive stance on some activities and caused some passages to be expurgated in 1610. Later in 1666 and 1679 multiple Popes placed the third volume on the Index of Prohibited Books. Nonetheless the work was frequently reprinted from its first appearance in 1602-1605 until this 1754 edition. <br /> <br /> Sánchez whose other well-known work discussed lying and mental reservation is also recognized as "one of the greatest casuists" FRAXI i.e. Ashbee Bibliography of Prohibited Books II p.81.

193554115New York: Falstaff Press Inc. Privately Issued for Cultured Adults 1935. 8vo. 16 pp unpaginated. printed on sepia-tinted paper with numerous text illustrations printed in brown ink. Self-printed softcovers uncut very slight dustsoiling NF copy. First edition of this very rare pamphlet on birth control issued by the notorious mail-order erotica publisher Falstaff Press which specialized in republishing many of the Panurge anthropological titles including titles on sexuality sexual disorders birth control eugenics phallic worship scientific sexualia and flagellation. Most of these titles were written by some of the most significant anthropologists and sociologists working in the new and growing field of sexual sciences in the 1930s including Hirschfeld Reclus Niemoeller and Rohleder. Solomon Malkin was a young New York University scholar who had studied under Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and oversaw the choosing of illustrations and text for the birth control pamphlets. This work details the very unreliable “Rhythm Method†of contraception depending on the charting of menstrual cycles however notes that this is has only 50% effectiveness and should be combined with artificial birth control methods.

197080984New York: Weybright and Talley 1970. First Edition. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's original black cloth titled in red gilt to spine. Dustjacket. 271pp. Slight bumping to the spine ends no appreciable wear in a clean bright priceclipped dustjacket with some minor discoloration in parts a very good copy indeed. Internally clean. A rather cynical and US-centric attempt to describe the cultural and social diffferences in attitudes towards sex and sexuality in Scandinavia versus what is acceptable in US. There's an element of rabble rousing and scandal mongering regarding the potential for a wave of shameless Scandinavian pornography and less puritanical social attitudes sweeping across the ocean and poisoning American youth; there are also some interesting early points made about the economic and social benefits and detriments of sex work the sex industry as a whole and the far reaching effects that sexuality has upon social stability and function.
