I never knew there were rules for undressing in the bedroom. 
I don’t think this article was ever meant to be taken seriously. An amusing retro article that made our grandparents laugh.

I wonder how long the Manhattan School of Undressing was open before it went broke? A few months maybe? I can’t see it attracting many students.
Today some ladies go to belly dancing classes. 
That will ignite a spark in the bedroom.
I’ve been married over 20 years. It isn’t easy keeping the sheets warm. (they were hot 17 years ago). But we still enjoy each other.
I can’t deny that there is a graceful way and a clumsy way of undressing, on all sides of the equation. Toppling over when you have your sock caught on your heel can dampen the ardour a tad.
I prefer unwrapping my presents myself.
I remember many years ago there was a cam for watching called 'dressed for church. The video was an hours worth and nude and semi nude couple getting ready for sunday church.
I was surprised at the amount of skin in the photos. I would imagine that spread might have ended up under a lot of boys’ mattresses.
Other than that one shot where the model is bending over and you can see the top half of her breast, it’s not really more skin than you can see in movies of the era. Any sort of exercise (a workout, dance practice/class, horseback riding) meant shorts or a skort that showed that much leg. Halter tops that show that much skin are also very common. And changing scenes aren’t uncommon, wherein women are wearing exactly that sort of underclothing.
After all, if showing that much skin were all edgy and shit, a mainstream publication like Time wouldn’t be doing it, ya know?
If you look at the end, not all those photos made it to the magazine spread. The last two pictures show what actually hit the stands.

They’re boys. A Sears catalog ends up under mattresses.
It was the 1930s, not the 1910s. By that time, it was about the same amount of skin you would’ve seen in a bathing suit.
Probably next to this cover.
Hubba hubba!
there is no wrong way to undress for your husband.
But I do admit the facial expressions in the ‘wrong way’ go a long way toward it.
When I try to click through the pictures on the Life/Time site, all I get when I try to click to get the second one is a little whirling circle and no other pictures.
