Los Angeles: Nash Publications retailer, 1971. First edition, first printing (stated). 285 pp. Hardcover in dust jacket.

Inscribed by both author James Kavanaugh in the year of publication.

This book studies how the "cultural cliches" of manhood and womanhood have the effect that "most people enter marriage for neurotic reasons, and often divorce for reasons equally neurotic." The text - which solely focuses on heterosexual relationships - analyzes the impetus behind role playing, helps readers differentiate between unhealthy and healthy sexual encounters, and proposes a series of alternative relationships (including emotional non-monogamy) that might suit each individual couple better than the traditional cis-hetero marriage.
