After reading this "lesson" from a Girls School Sex Education lesson it makes me wonder whether it was the 1950's or the 1850's when it was written.

This is an actual extract from a sex education school textbook for girls,
printed in the early 50's in the UK.

"When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as
promptly as possible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance,
your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have
to do for his train. But remember to look your best when going to bed. Try
to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to
apply face-cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night.

When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your
husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him. If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it. In all things be led by your husband's wishes; do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy. Should your husband suggest congress then agree humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had.

Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent. It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up and apply your night time face and hair care products. You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes."

Oh brother why didn't anyone tell this to Mrs Esca?

now o/h would just love me doing all that, good one esca, can't believe that was just 1950, it's so sexist.

Does anybody have a problem with this? I don't have any objections

Evie despite this being sent to me as an example from a book of Sex Education for young ladies in the 1950's, I too have some serious doubts about it. Even in the 1950's young women had minds of their own and weren't behind the door at expressing them. The "little woman" syndrome and "promising to obey" in the wedding service were on their way out in 1953 when I got married. It was in the 1960's when all the demure act and equality for women came into the picture along with - the contraceptive pill. That certainly put the cat among the pigeons as far as young blokes were concerned. Suddenly the males found that the young women they had been taught to respect and protect were able to look after themselves - and how!

Chauvinism isn't dead though - is it?
