Loma, A Citizen of Venus
Read it here.
"Long narrative on a cosmic germ theory of evolution. A Venusian comes to earth to educate the male fetus of an unwed mother so that the fetus will become the apostle of Venus's ideal culture. On Venus clothes are considered ugly and unsanitary, all human faculties are developed and 'balanced,' and social status is determined by a network of interpersonal relations among strangers, acquaintances, associates, brothers, sisters, lovers, and consorts -- the more of the latter three, the higher the status."

I'll say it: Looks more like a citizen of Point Loma.

Sounds like the basis for a softcore porn movie.

Venus doesn't sound bad at all, but I'm not a bit sure about that bloke in the picture.

Remember, "Ph. D" usually means "phony doctor".

@KDP
Always ask Ph. D in what? LL. B is an undergrad law degree. So his doctorate is probably in law of some kind. Although Archive.org associates the name with "Scientific Phrenology" good old head bump reading.
