[6] Named as a reference to some of Sigmund Freud's ideas concerning sexuality,[7] this release marked something of a departure from the hardcore image that The Feeding of the 5000 and its follow up, Stations of the Crass, had to some extent given the group, for it featured more obviously complex musical arrangements, as well as exclusively female vocals by Eve Libertine and Joy De Vivre (although Steve Ignorant remained a group member and is credited on the record sleeve as "not on this recording").

[8] The album addressed feminist issues and once again attacked the institutions of 'the system' such as marriage and sexual repression.

[9] One track, not actually listed on the album cover, was a deliberately saccharine (described in fact by the band themselves as "pure, unadulterated shit")[9] parody of a "middle of the road" love song entitled "Our Wedding".

A minor tabloid furore erupted once the hoax was revealed, with the News of the World going so far as to state that the album's title was "too obscene to print".

The band Flux of Pink Indians, its two record labels and its publishing company were also charged under the Obscene Publications Act.
