Summary

One evening in Paris, 1879, Mark Twain rose to the podium and tackled the touchiest of subjects: masturbation. His remarks rubbed Victorian society the wrong way and were censored for over a century.

Here, at long last, is Twain's hilarious lecture on "The Science of Onanism". This book includes an introduction by Sam Torode, author of The Dirty Parts of the Bible.
