In the 1950s sexual instruction was still a considerable problem
despite the very great freedom of discussion that was common. The
high level of so-called sexual neurosis among women, the problems
of sexual compatibility and birth control, and the spread of
venereal disease all bore witness to the need for responsible
information. Originally published in 1954, Dr Henry Olsen, in this
comprehensive survey of the problems of sexual adjustment, draws
fully from a very wide and thoroughly grounded experience. Since
1937, he had been closely connected with the instruction in sexual
hygiene in Denmark, where the majority of public schools and high
schools included it as part of the syllabus. Of the 1,232 public
libraries at the time all but three had copies of his Textbook on
Sexual Hygiene. Sexual Adjustment in Marriage is admirably clear in
style and arrangement. It is divided into subjects of particular
importance such as The Sex Organs; Living Together; Disturbances in
a Couple's Sex Life; Sex Life of the Unmarried; Fertilization,
Pregnancy and Childbirth; Sexual Abnormalities; Diseases of Sex
Life. Each of the sixteen main sections is divided into chapters,
within which every topic discussed is numbered. Reference to any
part of the book is thus extremely simple. Knowledge alone cannot
prevent all disasters in the difficult field of sexual life. But
this book aimed to give all that one needed for a basic
understanding of the elementary laws - from the genes and
chromosomes of one's own make-up to the sex education of one's
children. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical
context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1954. The
language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and
no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this
re-publication.
