DOGMATIC, BUT THEY LIKE IT THAT WAY

SEX books are on the market again. In the last few months I have noted no less than twelve new titles. If the accumulated wisdom in them really percolates to the inhibited public, well, I suppose it’s worth while. Otherwise, it’s all a bit boring. ... However, of alt the unmealymouthed writers I am _ inclined to think George Ryley Scott is the best. Even at the risk of offending a cello-phane-loving public, he is refreshingly frank and colloquial. His latest publication, "Sex in Married Life," is merely an abridgement of his excellent text-book, "The Sex Life of Men and Women." Indeed, I think the theme loses some of its force and very necesSary qualification by abridgment, but it will none the less prove an excellent and useful publication for people who are a little hazy about "those things." Mr. Scott is inclined to be dogmatic on debatable questions, but why not, after all, when most of the people who buy sex books for information and not morbid curiosity need their information forcibly expressed? "Sex in Married Life," by George Ryley Scott (T. Werner Laurie). Our copy from the publisher.
