The 1962 Version of ETIQUETTE in the BEDROOM!!!

In 1962, Barbara Cartland, writer of romance novels and lover of the colour pink, wrote a book instructing people in etiquette.
Seeing as Valentine's Day is on the march, I thought I'd share with you some of the notions she has about using etiquette correctly. This should make you rise an eyebrow or two!


To begin with she points out that good manners mean not stealing all the bedclothes from your partner and not reading while your partner is trying to sleep.

Apparently it is the man's job to open the window before getting into bed, while the woman is supposed to check that the clocks are correctly set, and that the husband has a clean shirt and socks to put on in the morning.

Women should not go to bed with creams covering their face, and men with quick growing facial hair should not kiss their wives unless they have shaved first.


How are we handling all of this so far?.... Ladies, you might want to prepare yourself for what's coming next!


She follows on to say that when it gets a bit hot and bothered in between the bedsheets, that if a woman wants a man to get better at performing, that she should continuously praise him and let him know how well he fulfils her dreams, as any criticism, no matter how small will make him reserved and nervous and lead to him not wanting to play such games any more.

She does note however that it is a man's duty to discover the difference between both his and her satisfaction.

This section is concluded with pointing out that a man then needs to tell his wife how much he loves her and how much he has enjoyed himself. if he rolls over and goes straight to sleep, he is an idiot and a 'brute'. The woman is then supposed to thank her husband for making her happy.

I think I'll leave out commenting on what's running through my mind right now, but feel free to add your own thoughts.
