The Lure of Lust
by OSCAR MEREDITH
Sexual customs across centuries, disguised as a 1960s pulp paperback.
Behind its lurid yellow cover, The Lure of Lust — Oscar Meredith’s “uninhibited study of erotic practices and behaviour past and present” — is a pulp paperback dressed up as sexology. The cover promises heat, the pages deliver history, guiding the reader from sex and seduction in the scriptures to vice in the Victorian era. Very much of its time, it belongs to the 1960s fashion for eroticism packaged as scholarship.
This Tallis Press paperback, published in 1969, is the first and only edition.

“What I have attempted to do in this brief study is to trace cursorily the vagaries of human sexuality, the vicissitudes of man’s attitude to woman (and hers to him), their unquenchable thirst for carnal excitement, their hankerings after debauchery – in a word, the ups and downs of human copulation.”
