About “Ideal Marriage: Its Physiology and Technique”

Ideal Marriage: Its Physiology and Technique is a popular scientific and self-help book published in London in 1926 by Theodoor Hendrik van de Velde, a Dutch gynecologist and former director of the Gynecological Clinic in Haarlem. Recognized as a major writer on human sexuality in the early twentieth century, van de Velde wrote the book as a guide to marital relationships, focusing on the physiological and practical aspects of marriage. It became the most well-known work on the subject for several decades and was reprinted 46 times in its original edition. After World War II, it sold more than half a million copies. A revised edition was published in 1965, and a later one in 2000. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
