DID YOU KNOW THAT —

Sex is the key factor in overweight.
Plump women often make the best lovers.
Oral-genital sex can keep weight down.
Dieting often inhibits sexuality.
Compulsive eaters lead poor love lives.
A change in attitude can bring new waves of sensual pleasure — from food and sex alike.

DON’T REDUCE — SEDUCE!

The pleasures of eating and the delights of sex are intimately bound upon the human psyche. But in diet-obsessed and guilt-ridden American, both eating and sex have become the sources of deep-seated fear and anxiety.

In this remarkable book, Dr. Eugene Scheimann analyzes the relationship of eating to love and lucidly proves the un-thin woman’s superior skills as a love partner.

Dismissing popular diets is unworkable, Dr. Scheimann offers a unique prescription for weight control through the joys of physical love.

AFTER READING THIS BOOK, YOU MAY NEVER DIET AGAIN!

Misc. Quotes
 
“If the Venus de Milo were to walk the streets today, she would very likely be ignored by the girl-watchers.  For her measurements were 48-37-41!
 
SUPERIOR SEXUALITY
 
Yet two psychologists, Drs. Howard Osofsky and Seymour Fisher, recently announced that greater sexual response in women was ‘positively correlated’ with a positive attitude toward eating. […]
Not that lean people cannot be wonderful lovers, too.  But only if they are naturally lean.  If their thinness is a result of the American diet-sickness, then their attitude toward sex will usually be somewhat disturbed, just as their attitude toward food must be.”
