Bundling: Its Origin, Progress and Decline in America (Kegan Paul Library of Sexual Life)

In this famous survey of premarital courting customs in early America, Stiles traces the origin, progress, and decline of bundling in America. He proves that bundling, a pleasant custom brought to America by the Puritans, was common at various times in many lands as far back as ancient Rome and that it arose out of real need rather than licentiousness. Controversial at the time, this book was banned in Boston when it was first published.
