A very good copy of a somewhat ephemeral item. Internally clean. A later printing of the 1949 edition, which was clearly an object of some popularity. Dealing primarily with the causes, psychology and techniques of masturbation amongs a number of subject fields, with particular attention paid to the "reasons" for masturbation among such groups as "Unsatisified Women", "Wives who Masturbate" and "Auto Erotism in Widows."
