Description: Vintage The Natural Method of Birth Control - James Bruce Falstaff Press 1935 Published by Falstaff Press, Inc., Privately Issued for Cultured Adults, [1935]., New York:, 1935 8vo. [16 pp (unpaginated).], printed on sepia-tinted paper, with numerous text illustrations, printed in brown ink. Self-printed softcovers, uncut First edition of this very rare pamphlet on birth control issued by the notorious mail-order erotica publisher, Falstaff Press, which specialized in republishing many of the Panurge anthropological titles including titles on sexuality, sexual disorders, birth control, eugenics, phallic worship, scientific sexualia, and flagellation. Most of these titles were written by some of the most significant anthropologists and sociologists working in the new and growing field of sexual sciences in the 1930s, including Hirschfeld, Reclus, Niemoeller, and Rohleder. Solomon Malkin was a young New York University scholar who had studied under Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin, and oversaw the choosing of illustrations and text for the birth control pamphlets. This work details the very unreliable "Rhythm Method" of contraception depending on the charting of menstrual cycles, however notes that this is has only 50% effectiveness, and should be combined with artificial birth control methods.
