Sobre IBD

First published in 2006. In this famous survey of pre-martial courting customs in early America, Stiles traces the origin, progress and decline of bundling in America. He proves that bundling, a custom brought to American by the Puritans, was common at various times in many lands as far back as ancient Rome and that it arose out of real need rather than licentiousness. Controversial at the time, this book was banned in Boston when it was first published.
