How to undo a maiden

the long version

This was a cheap book aimed at teenage boys and offering advice on how to get close to and undress girls. Some years later I read Ovid who described in a similar way how to get close to and take sexual advantage of women at the circus. Some parts of the books seemed so similar that I felt the one drew on the other. I was unable to compare them as thirty years had passed since my furtive adolescent reading of the first book.
