Decisions of the Indecent Publications Tribunal
IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Waverley Publishing Co. Ltd., for decisions in respect of the following books: The Sky's the Limit by Cherelene Keel, published by Leisure Books, Nordon Publications, Inc., New York; and The Wholesome Hooker by Kristin Andersen with Linda du Breuil, published by Leisure Books, Nordon Publications, Inc., New York.
There were no appearances and no submissions were made.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
The Sky's the Limit: The cover describes this book as "the true and intimate diary of a swinging stewardess". It retells sexual exploits in a tone of indefatigable excitement. While there is no need to protect older readers from its trivial glamourising of sexual adventures, its treatment of sex could be injurious to impressionable children and some restriction is required.
The Tribunal classifies this book as indecent in the hands of persons under sixteen years of age.
The Wholesome Hooker: This book is an attempt to cash in on the notoriety of earlier autobiographies of prostitutes, some of which the Tribunal has had to consider. There is nothing in this book to offset the debasing effect of its ill-constructed narrative of sexual episodes. Its gross explicitness increases its offensiveness and makes the indecent character of the book plain.
The Tribunal classifies this book as indecent.

Decisions of the Indecent Publications Tribunal
IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of a reference by the Magistrate's Court in New Plymouth for decisions in respect of the books:
Black Orchids and White Roses; Black Orchid; Boobs; Kinky Girls; Knockers and Knickers; Hot Knickers, published by Howard Publications Pty. Ltd., Sydney.
Mr Camp appeared on behalf of the distributor and made submissions.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
THESE 6 publications are photographic collections of partially-clad and nude women in a variety of poses, most of which are contrived and grossly obscene. The over-riding emphasis throughout on female undergarments would suggest that these publications are aimed mainly at those with fetishist tendencies. However, Black Orchids and Black Orchids and White Roses also contain photographs depicting lesbian activity.
The Tribunal classifies these 6 books as indecent.

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal
IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Waverley Publishing Co. Ltd. for a decision in respect of the book: The Book of Love and Sex... In Words and Pictures by Robert E. Corey, M.D., published by the Sherbourne Press, Los Angeles.
There were no appearances and no submissions were made.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
THIS book is described on the cover as a plain language guide to husband and wife or to serious lovers and by the author as a non-scientific but medically and psychologically accurate book of instructions and advice for the best enjoyment of sexual pleasure. The author is a graduate of the California College of Medicine and is in private practice. The book comprises text and photographs. The text in itself is unexceptionable and could very well be helpful to men and women. The photographs are detailed and explicit and in a number of instances go beyond what is relevant to the accompanying text and cast doubt on the honesty of purpose and the overall intention of the book. In the result the dominant effect or character of the book is indecent.
The Tribunal classifies this book as indecent.
