This book belonged to my parents. I have never read a book which skirts around a subject so much without actually giving any helpful information. It must have left a large number of couples wondering what on earth it was all about.

Primarily it is a guide for husbands but the only real advice it gives is to only have sexual congress when their wives are most receptive, which is about two weeks after commencement of menstruation. This is practical advice as such but would lead to large families as this is the time of greatest fertility ... which it doesn't mention in the book.

There is no mention of foreplay or even advice on the mechanics of the sexual act. It may have been a ground-breaking book for its time but leaves a lot to be desired. [sorry for the pun].

Writer Kate Figes has chosen to discuss Marie Stopes, Married Love on FiveBooks as one of the top five on her subject - Sex and Marriage, saying that:



"Its about women’s need to be seduced – not just the first time but every time. She said 70 to 80 per cent of married women were deprived of a full orgasm by their husband’s speed."

Brought when I was a teenager because it was about sex. Still haven't read it, but it's a classic so am keeping it on my shelf.
