T H E E L E M E N T S O F S O C I A L S C I E N C E Or Physical, Sexual and Natural Religion. An Expositionof the true cause and only cure of the three primary Social evils: Poverty, Prostitution and Celibacy by George Drysdale
ABOUT THIS BOOK Condemned by critics as "the Bible of the brothel" and "the most demoralising book of the century," Physical, Sexual and Natural Religion (later retitled The Elements of Social Science) was one of the most daring critiques of Victorian morality ever published. Presenting a case for free sexual unions before marriage, widespread contraception and family limitation, use of condoms to guard against venereal disease, and the replacement of Judeo-Christian spirituality with a science-based "religion" (really, a set of humane values) that respected the human body, Drysdale challenged the antisensual currents of his time and anticipated the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
