Real Men
"A thousand female furies, thirsty for loot, hungry for men - Henry Yager and his Golden Girl Guerillas" Perhaps the longest blurb ever (editors - isn't guerrillas spelled with two 'r's?) Actually these furies sound like some CF girls. Especially one who doesn't like reference to her actual profession:
"Czarist Gold was in my Hands But agents of the MVD had sworn - 'You'll Never Leave Russia Alive!'"
"Ivory, Women, and Death in Africa's Calahari Desert - The Treasure of Abu the Mad!" Sounds like a nice adventure yarn!
Cover: no blurb, but the blond hunk helping the sweet. virginal pearl-diver girls from the mad natives is nice. Once they get away, I'm sure he will want to teach those two brunettes some of his customs!
Saved for last - another boring history lesson (bye neanderthals):
"The fantastic story of the man who founded the only successful free love colony in America, The Passionate Prophet of Oneida"
This is based on a true and fascinating story that few who haven't lived in the area or studied history extensively know.
There must have been something in the water in central Upstate New York in the Early 19th century. Two new religious communities were founded and an English transplant flourished. All three were centered on "non-traditional" views of sex and marriage.
Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) including the principal of plural marriage (usually polygamy, rarely polyandry).
The English-born sect of United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing (know as the Shakers) founded their biggest and most lasting community in New Lebanon (Now Mount Lebanon) NY, peaking with a community of 6,000 in 1850. They practiced a celibate and communal lifestyle, pacifism,
and their model of equality of the sexes, which they institutionalized in their society in the 1780s. They are also known for their simple living, architecture, and furniture. Since they were millenarian (they believed in the imminent Second Coming)reproduction was unneeded and they practice celibacy. Part of their worship was energetic dancing and "shaking" (the origin of their nickname) to work of sexual desires. They have almost entirely died out - they only exist with new converts. But they did leave us one of the most beautiful folk songs written in America (and used as the theme in Arron Copeland's Appalachian Spring)
The one referred to in this pulp was the Oneida Community. From Wikipedia:
The Oneida Community was a perfectionist religious communal society founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 in Oneida, New York. The community believed that Jesus had already returned in AD 70, making it possible for them to bring about Jesus's millennial kingdom themselves, and be free of sin and perfect in this world, not just in Heaven (a belief called perfectionism). The Oneida Community practiced communalism (in the sense of communal property and possessions), complex marriage, male sexual continence, and mutual criticism. There were smaller Noyesian communities in Wallingford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Putney and Cambridge, Vermont.[1] The community's original 87 members grew to 172 by February 1850, 208 by 1852, and 306 by 1878. The branches were closed in 1854 except for the Wallingford branch, which operated until devastated by a tornado in 1878. The Oneida Community dissolved in 1881, and eventually became the giant silverware company Oneida Limited.
The Oneida community believed strongly in a system of free love (a term Noyes is credited with coining) known as complex marriage, where any member was free to have sex with any other who consented. Possessiveness and exclusive relationships were frowned upon. Unlike 20th-century social movements such as the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, the Oneidans did not seek consequence-free sex for pleasure, but believed that, because the natural outcome of intercourse was pregnancy, raising children should be a communal responsibility. Women over the age of 40 were to act as sexual "mentors" to adolescent boys, as these relationships had minimal chance of conceiving. Furthermore, these women became religious role models for the young men. Likewise, older men often introduced young women to sex. Noyes often used his own judgment in determining the partnerships that would form, and would often encourage relationships between the non-devout and the devout in the community, in the hopes that the attitudes and behaviors of the devout would influence the non-devout.
To control reproduction within the Oneida community, a system of male continence or
coitus reservatus was enacted. John Humprey Noyes decided that sexual intercourse served two distinct purposes. In Male Continence, Noyes argues that the method simply "proposes the subordination of the flesh to the spirit, teaching men to seek principally the elevated spiritual pleasures of sexual connection". The primary purpose of male continence was social satisfaction, "to allow the sexes to communicate and express affection for one another". The second purpose was procreation. Of around two hundred adults using male continence as birth control, there were twelve unplanned births within Oneida between 1848 and 1868, indicating that it was a highly effective form of birth control. Young men were introduced to male continence by women who were post-menopause, and young women were introduced by experienced, older males.
Noyes believed that ejaculation "drained men's vitality and led to disease" and pregnancy and childbirth "levied a heavy tax on the vitality of women". Noyes founded male continence to spare his wife, Harriet, from more difficult childbirths after five traumatizing births of which four led to the death of the child. They favored this method of male continence over other methods of birth control because they found it to be natural, healthy and favorable for the development of intimate relationships. Women found increased sexual satisfaction in the practice, and Oneida is regarded as highly unusual in the
value they placed on women's sexual satisfaction. If a male failed they faced public disapproval or private rejection.
As you can see from the underlined sections, these people had strange ideas. But the tradition of unorthodox sexual practices is still a strong undercurrent in the area as shown in the recent expose of goings-on in the nearby
Newtown State Correctional Facility for Women.
