This well-loved 1953 printing of “Jest on Sex” offers a fascinating glimpse into the mid-20th century attitudes towards human sexuality. Published by the risqué Encore Press, known for their bold and provocative titles, this compendium of jokes, stories, and anecdotes was likely considered quite racy in its time. Despite its worn exterior, the book’s interior pages remain crisp and readable, allowing modern readers to explore how society’s perspectives on intimate matters have evolved. While some content may seem tame by today’s standards, this vintage volume serves as a time capsule of an era when discussions of sexuality were often shrouded in innuendo and double entendre. For collectors of vintage erotica or students of social history, this unique artifact offers an intriguing look at the shifting boundaries of acceptable discourse.
