"The Sex Side of Life"

The Sex Side of Life
The Sex Side of Life is a sex education pamphlet written by Mary Ware Dennett with a goal to educate her sons, because she was unable to find any adequate books on the subject. Many of the books on sex either contained inaccurate information or used fear and shame tactics to dissuade the youth from having sex. Therefore, she decided to write her own explanation using research and interviews with doctors. The pamphlet was twenty-four pages long. Dennett used scientific discussion of sex while also including the emotion side of sex relations. The pamphlet covered controversial topics including masturbation, sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution, and support for the use of birth control. Her views were considered radical for this time, because she was not promoting abstinence.

The Later Works, 1925-1953
John Dewey's Experience and Nature has been considered the fullest expression of his mature philosophy since its eagerly awaited publication in 1925.

The meticulously edited text published here as the first volume in the series The Later Works of John Dewey, 1925-1953 spans that entire period...
Birth Control Laws And The Sex Side of Life
The scope of this book does not include any general discussion of the merits of birth control, or its sociological and racial ramifications. That has been amply undertaken in recent years by many able people; and the birth rate in all high-grade communities and groups clearly indicates that the subject, per se, is not now to any extent a moot question. Birth control is not an if. It is an actuality. But what does need further discussion and thinking through to a sound conclusion is the question as to whether laws affecting birth control are necessary in the United States, and if so, just what the provisions of those laws should be. We have laws on the subject already, and have had them,—th...

Typed copies of correspondence between Mary Ware Dennett and representatives of the U.S. Postal Service concerning the distribution of Dennett's 1919 pamphlet, "The Sex Side of Life," through the mail. The pamphlet, a frank discussion of sex and sexual health written for adolescent children, had been deemed obscene and therefore "nonmailable matter" by the Post Office under the Comstock Act. Likely copied by Dennett for her personal records, this typed correspondence records Dennett requesting confirmation as to what specific statues had categorized the work as obscene, with the uncooperative responses of U.S. Postal Service representatives included. Additionally contains 21 pages of testimo...
