The Sex Side of Life: An Explanation for Young People

Beschrijving van het boek

Mary Dennett, a trailblazing author, courageously tackled the taboo subject of sex education in her groundbreaking work, 'The Sex Side of Life: An Explanation for Young People' written in the early 20th century for the benefit of her sons. Frustrated by the lack of accurate and comprehensive resources available, Dennett fearlessly delved into the scientific and emotional aspects of human sexuality, challenging the prevailing culture of fear and shame that surrounded the topic. Her 24-page pamphlet, initially shared among her friends with adolescent children, soon gained widespread recognition and was published in Medical Review of Reviews. Addressing subjects that were deemed controversial at the time, such as masturbation, sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution, and advocating for birth control, Dennett's progressive views shattered societal norms and promoted a more open and informed approach to sexual education for future generations.
