Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

It is wrong for us during the greater part of the time to handle these questions with timidity and false shame, and to surround them with reticence and mystery.

Matters relating to sexual life ought to he studied without the introduction of moral prepossessions or of preconceived ideas.

False shame is as hateful as frivolity. It is a matter of pressing concern to rid ourself of the old prejudice that we sully our pens by touching upon facts of this class.

It is necessary at all costs to put aside our moral, esthetic, or religious personality, to regard facts of this nature merely as natural phenomena, with impartiality and a certain elevation of mind.
