About: The highly erotic, sensational subject matter of “Sock It To Me, Lover” is the work of the young English writer, Gene Halliday. This completely frank treatment of young people in various forms of sexual perversion quickly became one of the most sought after pieces of erotica in London. However, the book was ordered removed from the stall and further printing prohibited. It was also banned in Paris and in Brussels. Still, the book had a flourishing “underground” circulation among European fanciers of the “avante garde” in erotica.

The reader can gain much insight into the origins of the various types of sexual neuroses by a study of the characters in this book. The comments of the famous psychoanalyst, Dr. Ferenczi may also be enlightening:

“My patient, Mr. X. was a wealthy young man whose parents brought him to me after he had been arrested while masturbating in public in a crowded park.

“During analysis Mr. X. told me that from the age of ten he began to have a very peculiar interest in black patent leather shoes. He began to masturbate at the age of thirteen, but in order to have an ejaculation he had to be looking at a pair of black patent leather shoes.

“As he matured, he felt no interest in having a woman and preferred to masturbate. When in college, his friends took him to a house of prostitution. When the girl disrobed and was nude before him, he fled from the room and masturbated in an alley in the street outside.

“More and more he felt himself drawn to young men who wore the fanciest and latest clothes, as well as patent leather boots. He would look through magazines with pictures of such men and masturbate when he found one especially to his liking. His ideal was to live with such a man and practice mutual masturbation.

“Unable to have his wish, he would introduce an imitation rubber penis into his anus, and while moving it in and out he would imagine himself having intercourse with his ideal man in patent leather boots. At the same time he would masturbate. During this imitation of intercourse, he would wear shorts made of the finest red silk.

“Matters progressed to the point where he would write his name and phone number on the walls of public toilets stating that his penis and rectum were available 'to good-looking guys wearing black leather boots'.”

The reader should become aware that deeply entrenched perversions are best treated by a qualified psychiatrist.
