Abstract
MR. ROM LANDAU nowhere claims to speak as an ‘authority’ on sex and is none the worse for that. His publishers, however, do him no service by describing this volume as “possibly the most outspoken provocative and comprehensive book on sex to appear since The Psychology of Sex by Havelock Ellis for, by the bright light of Ellis, Landau looks rather dim. But then, who would not ? Take Mr. Landau at his own valuation as one who has frequently been asked to advise people on their sex problems and who has read rather widely in the literature of sex, and one must admit that his advice is on the whole sound and his reading well digested. Mr. Landau, moreover, can write—which is more than may be said of some so-called ‘authorities’.
