Glueck, Sheldon | September 25, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

Social influences play a part in conditioning abnormal sexual expression. Illicit heterosexual activity is common in the U.S. in 1937. A recent penetrating analysis of contemporary morality goes so far as to say that a the emphasis upon sex in fiction, drama, and essay, the radical demands for individual liberty and self-expression in sex relations, both before and after marriage, show a focus of interest comparable to the political focus of the American and French revolutions. Seventy-eight percent of the youths sentenced to a well-known Eastern reformatory admitted having had illicit sexual experiences before entering that institution.
