Sex
The pictures show chunkier ideals
than we would probably choose today and are curiously "wrapped"
to hide the pubic hair and genitals; the author shows them elsewhere in
great detail.
The last paragraph on this page starts with "The size of the testicles
marks the courage and determination of the man," language typical of
the book. See the first page for discussion of the book.
