Apprenticed as map maker, then went in survey section of Royal Engineers, then into army entertainment. Was persuaded by Stanley Baxter to go into acting after war, to do something he enjoyed.

Book is directed to people who do not necessarily have sexual problems and have been together for a long time. Sex goes wrong when it becomes too complicated by other factors. TRACK 10- Book covers advice on physical and emotional sides of sex. The more involved the relationship the harder it is to express feelings about it. I language is a way to express feelings, not accusing you, but what I can do about it. Spontaneous sex not always successful, need to plan time for it. TRACK 11- Unsuccessful sex life does not necessarily have to lead to split. Have to make conscious effort to make positive advance to partner. Sex drive not necessarily drop with age. Older people often have more leisure time. Discusses consummation before marriage - advantages and disadvantages. [Box 6]
