Is Sex Necessary?

is a spoof of the many popular books on Freudian sexual theories published in the 1920s.

Written by James Thurber and E. B. White, the book combines satire and wit to examine the mysteries of romance, love, and marriage.

The authors invent pseudo-scientific terms and mock the psychological jargon of the era, all while offering sharp, funny insights into human relationships.

The book also features Thurber's distinctive cartoons, which became a hallmark of his style.
