Eustace Chesser

Eustace Chesser (formerly Isaac Chesarkie) (1902–1973) was a Scottish psychiatrist, social reformer and writer.

Life and career

He was born in Edinburgh to Russian immigrants and attended George Watson's College. He received his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh.[1] In 1940 he published a sex manual entitled Love Without Fear.[1] It sold 5,000 copies but it was withdrawn, and Chesser was arrested for obscenity.[1][2] Rather than pleading guilty and accepting a fine, Chesser chose to be tried by jury.[3]
