Unusual Births

Where do you turn for reliable knowledge on genetic anomalies? Why, this 1961 issue of Sexology magazine, of course!

You can read the article on Modern Mechanix.

About Sexology magazine:

In the early 1930’s Hugo Gernsback introduced yet another magazine. This time the title and subject stunned the American reading public. SEXOLOGY, THE MAGAZINE OF SEX SCIENCE, sought to bring the results of modern science to a general public that had not yet crawled out from under the Victorian pseudo-moral posture of never speaking publicly about sex. A little implied prurience probably helped sell magazines, too.

If only they knew the extent of “prurience” the Internet (final wrecking ball to all things sacred) would bring.

  1. If you want to learn more about the amazing life and times of Hugo Gernsback, check out this book.

    I’ve recently published a new 900-page biography about the life and times of Hugo Gernsback. It is available on Amazon. Just follow this link:

    Once you get there, you can take a look inside. One chapter of particular interest to this audience should be “Taking the X out of Sex”.

    The manuscript was found while I was in the process of closing down Gernsback Publications Inc. in 2003. It was apparently written some time in the 1950’s. It covers all the areas that Hugo found interesting: wireless communications, science fiction, publishing, patents, foretelling the future, and much more.
