Sex Education in the Early Sixties

[wheelnut]

An actual extract from a sex education school textbook for girls, printed in the early 60's in the UK, written by a woman!


"When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible.

Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance, your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for his train.

But remember to look your best when going to bed.

Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious.

If you need to apply face-cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night.

When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him.

If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it.

In all things be led by your husband's wishes; do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy.

Should your husband suggest congress then agree humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's.

When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had.

Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent.

It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up and apply your night-time face and hair care products.

You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes."

My wife is still laughing so hard that tears are flowing freely ... I guess she must think this is a funny post! At the same time, I think she keeps saying "Oh, hell no!".

[Art 1]

There is a similar one like that from the 1800's USA, it is funny.

[Dr. Robert]

I don't think it's funny at all..........it's wonderful, it's nirvana, shangri-la........oh if only.......

[wheelnut]

my wife seems to have got the later version of the guide, which must be somewhat different

[Timber Loftis]

do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy

Oh, hells no. That's so wrong.

[wheelnut]

When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had.

Hands up those who get :

OH!! .................. you've finished!!

[prismresearch]

"Should your husband suggest congress"

What chance does he think he might have suggesting these guys, based on their current record..............

[miner]

Here's another:



Ah the good ole days!!

Cheers

[Mrdi]

Pretty much the way it happens in my home with the exception of the tea.

They obviously read something else now days. Something like...

Men are a dime a dozen. "Don't put up with no sass off no man"

[sleddog]

It's actually a pretty sad and sorry tale that this was expected of women back then...

Not really, when you consider that it was part of our evolution, that was progress when you look back through the ages.

Without wanting to start a religious debate(that's where a lot if it stems from) there are some parts of the world where women are treated far worse/have less rights and are treated as posessions.

Imagine looking forward in time say from a hundred years ago, how we would laugh at the prospect of a man staying at home to look ater the children while a woman went out to work. Imagine the thought of a woman prime minister. How we would have laughed.

Anyway only a bit of fun.

[Timber Loftis]

If you want to be really saddened by the state of women's rights, go google up the "man on the street" polls done asking people "Do you support women's suffrage?"

Not knowing what the word meant, most said they did not.
