The Scottish physician John Roberton published 'Kalogynomia' using his pseudonym Thomas Bell. This work is aimed squarely at a male readership of the middle and upper classes and is ostensibly a guide to the beauty of the female sex, but in reality it is a sex manual. As with his earlier work "On diseases of the generative system", Roberton covers sexual health and generation, with chapters discussing beauty and love, before turning to a more detailed discussion of sexual intercourse, and 'the laws regulating that intercourse'.
