Why it was banned
Alex Comfort's 1972 illustrated sexual self-help guide, one of the bestselling books of the 1970s, banned in New Zealand as objectionable under the Indecent Publications Act 1963 for explicit sexual content and illustrations. Widely suppressed in conservative jurisdictions despite its mainstream commercial success.
