book feels like some sort of propaganda Published in,

Interesting and simple reading that grownups can read for valuable information and direction in having a successful marriage.


I found this buried in my Kindle, and it was worth the discovery and read,

Recommended. This book made me laugh, When I began to read it I did not know when it was written and half way through I finally figured out that it was written during the "flapper" times.
There is good advice in the beginning about being open with your children about sex and giving them simple truths.
Later on though, when he points out the reasons for more "loseness" in girls he blames it on more freedom and the invention of the automobile.
I almost started crying with laughter when I saw that he blamed cars, Ah Then further on how he talked about the duties of a wife to her husband and even their honeymoon night again I laughed and wondered what our grandmothers must have been taught and so taught our mothers.
A clean, if dated, look at sex and sex education, First published inand republished inBURN IT!
I feel like the world is making some weird U turns and trying to get us back to the Victorian age full force.
This book is not simply outdated, it is full of untrue statements and claims, It stigmatises masturbation, claims that small breasts are 'underdeveloped' and may be sign of early masturbation for girls, says giving birth should go with relatively little pain and not be dangerous, talks at length at how unnatural and against society birth control is but the natural sexual urges are drowned with a so called 'natural morality', talks about ''good and evil'', promotes excessive parental control.
. .
I stumbled upon it on LibriVox, but I'd say it is insane that such book is still in circulation one way or another, it's disgusting to find such readings republished incentury.
Humorous due to it's dated material, but an interesting look into the mentality concerning sex in the earlyth century.
A rather nice reference for anyone interested in the study of the ever changing views on human sexuality, An orthodox view.
Girls shouldn't engage in premarital sex lest they be cursed,
Bull. Thought it might be interesting, instead it was silly, You can't claim pure naturalism and then stake a claim on what is and is not moral behavior, You cut off your own legs Stanton, رغم اختلافي ومعارضتي لكتير جدا من أفكار الكاتب إلا إن الكتاب أكيد كان ثوري وقتها بمناقشته لمواضيع لا يفترض بها أن تناقش في مجمتع محافظ.
الغريب إن من سنةلحد الآن أي بعد حواليسنة لسه بندعو لبعض القضايا المتعلقة بالصحة الانجابية والجنسية!!

كانت قراءة مثيرة للاهتمام وهرجعله أكيد كمادة للتدريب outdated, misleading information, has some good parts but misleading parts completely ruin it, I found this book at Project Gutenberg and thought it would be interesting to read a book regarding sex education from as viewpoint AND one written by a man.
With a few exceptions, the book was thoughtful, well balanced and did not cater to the views that women were inferior to men or that their desires or disreputable tendencies occurred less frequently than that of their male counterparts.


There were a few moments where I had to laugh at the outdated and puritanical ideas that were professed, but overall, this was a great glimpse into early American views on sexuality and how they believed it best to prepare children for the changes that would occur as they matured.


I gave Sex by Henry Stanton four, One might think that the title would deserve nothing less but the title has very little to do with the work itself.
Published in, the book is based on facts and or suppositions that are either bogus or incomplete, It was, in my opinion, very humorous and I laughed out loud more than once, It does give a good insight into how the social views of such a delicate subject as sexuality for both sexes has changed in the last century.
The work must have caused quite a stir when first published as it doesnt leave many aspects of human sexuality in the dark.
On the other hand the author declares that masturbation inevitably leads to possible blindness and venereal disease, The last chapter gives a short summary of venereal diseases gonorrhea, syphilis and scabies which would, as Im sure as it was meant to do, discourage readers from casual sexual experiences.
I think both children and adults could get something from reading this obsolete work of “science”, If nothing else, I guarantee lots of laughs, Henry Stantonsbook Sex Avoided Subjects Discussed in Plain English is intended as a frank although consevative and moralistic guide to human sexual behaviour and relationships.
It is partly a selfhelp book, partly an attempt to relay the scientific knowledge of the day in relation to sex and reproduction in a way suitable for popular consumption.
Okay, this was written in thes, so I went in with the mindset to take everything with a grain of salt.
But goddamn did this guy find a way to be progressive by encouraging poem conversation and shameless about sexuality while also being conservative af and just spreading church values of the time.
I laughed a lot at some of the things he presented as fact, At the same time, I recognize that he was a pioneer of the subject and did great things to get people to teach their kids about their own bodies.
This is the sort of book that justly gave the Victorians a bad name, Very old fashioned and a very traditional less modern approach, Old fashion family/procreation propaganda, Even if the argumets are more sophiasticated and elaborated, the exact same propaganda continues to live nowadays, The ideas behind this book are all stupid, Some examples:
Sex reproduction
The natural law are santified by the law of god
god and Nature want you to have babies and make a family
Responsability is your only goal and the real freedom.

Love is all you need, All you need is love, .
. . and so on. Archaic and Horrible An entertaining if completely obsolete book based on the evils of masturbation and sex, If anything, good for a laugh, A sad laugh. Curiously oldfashioned but straightforward book on sex ed, Did you know female masturbation causes small breasts Now you do! Enlightened only insofar as it pleads for more open discussion about the reality and necessity of sex/sexuality, but the messages thistome advocates were already out of date inand are rigid and downright wrong of the masturbation will make you go blind school of thought.
Interesting as an historical curio now, It's a short read and you can find it on Project Gutenburg, thought I'd listen to somes views on the topic, . . Fascinating except that at times upsetting, . . It's a book written inabout sex, I imagine it was revolutionary in its time, Much of it is so false, it would make me laugh if it wasn't for the fact that I know people who still think and believe some of the horrible falsehoods.


I used to believe much of the what he says is the "proper role of the wife".


Some of my favorite things to hate about this book:

Sex's only purpose is for procreation.
The only purpose of marriage is to have sex and procreate, therefore those who should not have children, should never marry.


"Men suffering with diseases which may be communicated by contagion or heredity should not marry, These diseases include: tuberculosis, syphilis, cancer, leprosy, epilepsy and some nervous disorders, some skin diseases and insanity, Men suffering from congenital defects should not
marry, Natural blindness, deafness, muteness, and congenital deformities of limb are more or less likely to be passed on to their children.
Criminals, alcoholics, and persons disproportionate in size should not marry, "

"Disparity of years, disparity of race, a poverty which will not permit the proper raising of
children, undesirable moral character are all good reasons for not marrying.
"

Although earlier, he pointed out that the husband should be much older than the wife, so that he could provide for her.


"If masturbation becomes habitual, generally impaired health, and often epilepsy, and total physical degradation results, "

Stopping the flow of blood by

use of tampons or other "foreign" objects inserted in the genitalia during menses will have serious physical and mental consequences.
In fact, "Lives have been lost by thus suppressing the monthly flux, "

"Any muscular effort, brain work and mental or physical excitement, is apt to have serious consequences during menstruation.
"

"No young woman should marry without a full knowledge of her sex duties to her husband, And she should never consummate the marriage vow grudgingly, "


"The whole system of "birth control" is opposed to natural, human and religious law, Nature, in none of her manifestations, introduces anything which may tend to prevent her great reason for beingthe propagation of the species.
"

"Surely that wise provision of our existing legal code which makes the printing or dissemination of information regarding the physical facts of "birth control" illegal and punishable as an offense, can only be approved by those who respect the Omnipotent will, and the timehallowed traditions which date back to the very inception of the race.
