Erotic novel by Lupton Wilkinson (1902-1993) writing as L. Erectus Mentulus. Ironically, when he wrote this work, Wilkinson was head of publicity for the Hays Office in Hollywood—the Hays Production Code, of course, set decency standards for motion pictures, including those regarding nudity and sexual perversity.
