excessive and debilitating loss of sperm through wet dreams and masturbation. The historianMichael Bush suggests that Drysdale used his own life story in his book, in the case study of a young man who, unable to curtail his masturbatory impulses, falls into despair. In search of a cure, he takes long walking holidays across Europe. In desperation, he has his genitals cauterized. Eventually he finds salvation in the simple prescription of regular sexual intercourse. Drysdale’s book may well have been more an evangelistic autobiography than a revolutionary tract.

How to Do Foreplay
Not until you’re married
Newnes, Manual of Marriage (1964)
It can be said with confidence that any pre-marital manipulation of the genital organs is overstepping the mark, and these might well be thought to include the breasts.
Haste makes waste
Harland Long, MD, Sane Sex Life and Sane Sex Living (1919)
Regarding the first part of the act, let it be said that here, above all the situations in the world, ‘haste makes waste’. Put that down as the most fundamental fact in the whole affair! Right here is where ninety-nine one-hundredths of all the troubles of married life begin!
Treat her like basil
Perfumed Garden of Sheik Nefzaoui (16th century), translated into English by Sir Richard F. Burton
Woman is like a fruit, which will not yield its sweetness until you rub it between your hands. Look at the basil plant; if you do not rub it warm with your fingers it will not emit any scent. Do you not know that the amber, unless it be handled and warmed, keeps hidden within its pores the aroma contained in it?
It is the same with woman. If you do not animate her with your toying, intermixed with kissing, nibbling and touching, you will not obtain from her what you are wishing; you will feel no enjoyment when you share her couch, and you will waken in her heart neither inclination nor affection, nor love for you; all her qualities will remain hidden.
Thirteen steps from wrists to riding
Mawangdui medical manuscripts (200–300 BC )
Clasp her hands and move your palms up the outside of her wrists
Stroke the elbows
Move up the underarms
Then work on the chest, between neck and breasts
Go to the abdomen
Stroke the pelvic region
Mount her at the waist
Observe her genitalia
Stroke her navel
Move your hands downwards
Skim her pubic mound
Penetrate her
And ride ...
Woo – and win
Marie Stopes, Married Love (1918)
A man does not woo and win woman once and for all when he marries her: he must woo her before every separate act of coitus.
Sing together (gesticulations optional)
Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana (3rd century), translated by Sir Richard F. Burton and F.F. Arbuthnot (1883)
In the pleasure-room, decorated with flowers, and fragrant with perfumes, attended by his friends and servants, the citizen should receive the woman, who will come bathed and dressed, and will invite her to take refreshment and to drink freely.
He should then seat her on his left side, and holding her hair, and touching also the end and knot of her garment, he should gently embrace her with his right arm. They should then carry on an amusing conversation on various subjects, and may also talk suggestively of things which would be considered as coarse, or not to be mentioned generally in society.
They may then sing, either with or without gesticulations, and play on musical instruments, talk about the arts, and persuade each other to drink. At last when the woman is overcome with love and desire, the citizen should dismiss the people that may be with him, giving them flowers, ointments, and betel leaves, and then when the two are left alone, they should proceed.

Cold feet are a powerful hindrance to coition – couples
