Henry Stanton's 1922 classic SEX, Avoided Subjects in Plain English takes us back to a day when sex and sexual content was simply not discussed with children, teens, and young adults except with an indecent back room palor or a religious thrust of "thou shalt nots." Although Stanton was writing in an era where sexual reseearch and medical knowledge were still rather antiquated, he attempts to give light to a subject which is rife with a Victorian sort of tabboo. In an era where a child is berrated and punished for an act so natural and common as masterbation, where little ones are taught that babies are the gifts of benevolent storks, and where religious superstition sways the imagination far more than science and research, this book opened the doors for an enlightenment in sexual discussion. The reader should be warned that, in spite of Stanton's attempt at opening doors on the subject, that sex and sexual hygene were then still in its infancy, and that the cautions and suggeestions offered here are still quite ancient to our modern philosophy.
