Married Love

Married Love

by Marie Stopes

Published in 1918, 'Married Love' by Marie Stopes is a groundbreaking work that tackled the complexities of sexual intimacy within marriage. Breaking taboos of its time, the book openly discussed topics such as variations in male and female sexual desires, the mechanics of physical intimacy, and the importance of communication within marriage. This revised 1919 edition adds an appendix offering insights on sexual activity during pregnancy. While its approach is rooted in the social norms of the era, 'Married Love' remains a significant document in the history of sex education, illuminating the changing societal views and discussions surrounding intimacy in the early 20th century.
