A secret world of sex : forbidden fruit : the British experience 1900-1950

Based on frank interviews with old people and including many of their moving life stories, the author tells the story of sex before marriage in the early part of this century. Strong taboos and conventions up to the Second World War placed severe restrictions on young lovers and while many failed to observe them, the guilt and fear remained.
