illustrated encyclopedia of sex

i borrowed this book from a friend of mine. published in 1950, the illustrated encyclopedia of sex has some of the most visually appealing diagrams of sex organs i have seen, i couldn't put the book down and bothered everyone at the party by showing them diagrams such as this one.


but the diagrams dealing with male sexual excitement are pretty amusing.



and, on the subject of female sexual excitement the book has this to say: "...the seat of female sexual satisfaction is the posterior part of the vagina...What we mean is that this part of the vagina is the most important receiving station of excitations, the actual seat of voluptuous sensation being, of course, the central nervous system, i.e., the brain." the only visuals dealing with female excitement are in the form of schematic diagrams comparing the timing of female orgasm to that of the male.
