No. 636

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

APPLICATION by Granada Publishing Ltd. of London for a decision in respect of the book The Square Root of Sex by Ted Mark, published by Granada Publishing Ltd.

Mr Heron, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the applicant and made submissions.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

This paperback novel tells the story of two scientists who conduct a research project on erotic human behaviour. The accounts of some of the sexual exploits studied make the book unsuitable for young persons but it does not dwell unduly on prurient detail, nor employ obscene language. The book has no literary merit and the dominant effect is a rather laboured satire on scientific method but it is not devoid of some humour. We see no grounds for denying it to mature readers.

The Tribunal classifies this book as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

R. S. V. SIMPSON, Chairman.
