Sexurbia County (1960)

Suburbia, U.S.A. — where during the day wives play — and during the night husbands seek other delight!
What really happens in the swank, ultra-fashionable suburbs of a big city? The answers in this bold, slashing novel will shock — fascinate — and outrage you!

From the back:

A Brutally Frank Novel Of Men Who Leave Their Consciences In The City — And Women Who Check Their Morals At The Supermarket!

I prefer this to the 1964 cover, but it is Maguire, after all. The artwork was later reused for Make Sure I Win

Adroit handling of a particularly difficult theme

From the back:

THE ONE IN TEN
An experience such as Greg had with Julie can happen to a man only once in his life. Although a similar experience could occur in the sex life of any man, for nine out of ten men it never will happen. Even so, every man should be prepared for such an experience and its inevitable repercussions.
To tell you, at this time, precisely what went on between Greg and Julie would be doing both you and the novel an injustice. But it can be said that this story deals intimately with one of the least understood, most maligned women in our society today.
