Introduction
"All Around Nurse", is the daring first novel of Daniel M. Miller. Although written from actual observations of certain types of sexual liberties and perversions indulged in by an average group of people, the book was banned as being "detrimental to the public morals" by the London Chief Censor. Prior to its banning, the book had enjoyed an unusually good sale in the London book shops. It was eagerly bought up by collectors of modern avant garde erotica and added to their libraries.
In reference to some of the psychosexual perversions encountered in "All Around Nurse" the prominent analyst, Dr. O. Berndorff, has made some very pertinent comments in his case histories. Their study will aid the reader in understanding some of the subconscious motivation of the sexual acts indulged in by various characters in the book.
He states: "Miss Lee was an extremely attractive, but neurotic registered nurse who worked in a very exclusive private clinic. She freely related some of her perverted sexual practices with patients, and doctors too, as follows: i don't mind giving a patient a mild blow job, if I feel he's strong enough to take it. I think that for a lonely man (or woman) it can be some of the best therapy in the world. And I'm very good at going down on it.
"The men patients like to have me sort of work up to it, not just swoop down and put their cocks in my mouth like a thermometer. I like to kiss it softly before I actually put it in my mouth. When I do take it in my mouth, I know the man likes it if I suck every inch of it. I pull in my cheeks and then let my tongue rest just beneath the head of the cock, licking it back and forth as I move it in and out. My cheeks thus form two sides against the dick, my tongue gives the third side, and the roof of my mouth gives the fourth side.
'I'm very careful not to strain the man's penis-especially if the patient seems strong enough to indulge in a little "sixty-nine". Women patients tend to be more of a problem, but those I "go down" on are always so grateful. Doctors are the biggest wolves of all where nurses are concerned. I could write a book about some of the really queer things doctors have asked me to do sexually.
The reader can benefit from the lessons to be learned from these accounts of sexual perversions in case histories and in the book itself. He can become more aware of what to look for in the realm of normal sex behavior.
It is from this viewpoint that Continental Classics presents the original unexpurgated version of this book. Recommended only for the graduate student and mature adult reader.
