As previously mentioned, my family is in the process of cleaning out my grandparents home, and dividing up stuff. In the process of doing so, my mom found a book that she thought I'd enjoy.
The book? Published in 1951. The title?
"How To Give Sex Instructions: A Guide For Parents, Teachers and Others Responsible For the Training Of Young People."
Yes, a vintage sex book, and more specifically, a Pre-Vatican II Catholic sex book.
'Twisted' does not begin to describe this pamphlet. The author was apparently incapable of completing a sentence, and was really fond of one fragment in particular. "Mortal Sin."
In the section for boys, the author uses lots of airplane-related metaphors and has a section on 'self-abuse,' that contains the following sentence.
"Seed has life-germs and hence is sacred."
I'm telling you, this is the best present I've ever received, and I'm including when I was 7 and got a Barbie Dream House. I've been completely unable to stop myself from laughing.
