It may be also remembered by those who know anything about the intimate history of the Oneida Community that a group of some 250 persons carried on a technique successfully for thirty years with no detrimental results to the males, a technique which differed from this Succession Plan only in the fact that the men, but not the women, abstained from taking their own erotic acme entirely except for the purpose of procreation. In this community in which their principle of Male Continence was raised to a religious principle there was a much greater health than the average for the United States at the time (1849-1879) and the nervous disorders were far less than the average. What has been done can be done, yet what is advocated here is much easier of attainment than what was done by the men of the Oneida Community. § 115 To a technique like that of the Succession Plan here suggested the unconscious of the woman cannot fail to respond in the most favourable manner. It is manifest that in every marriage that is truly happy the husband must have approximated this technique if he has not finally reached it. And by happy is meant successful from the erotic standpoint. For it is conceivable that some lives even of happily married people may be marred by certain egoistic-social reverses. There may be not as much money as would make them more comfortable, and either one of the pair may have bereavements, or they both may lose a child. But none of these will touch closely the erotic life they live in common. By happy marriage is meant one in which the partners never have a really serious temptation to depart from the monogamic ideal. If thoroughly fused, neither will have the slightest temptation, for each will fill every erotic need of the other and will continue to do so. If men were universally taught this Succession Plan, there would be no dissatisfied wives; nor would any man be attracted away from his own life partner. For beauty of face and grace of form, brightness of intellect and brilliance of egoistic-social attainment are as nothing compared with the sense of power and triumph shared alike by both partners where the husband controls the erotism of the wife according to this method. If men universally used this method there would be no possibility of prostitution or any other form of infidelity, for no man, even following the lead of his own unconscious, would find anything better than perfection, and every man would find, because he had himself developed, perfection in his wife. Let, then, every man who thinks himself incapable of this degree of control over his own erotic emotions admit to himself that he is as yet undeveloped. He is still in the class of autoerotic infants.
