We see a year later this same happy pair experience a great falling off in their affection. Women have experienced this so often that they begin to hate the sexual relation, and look upon the act either with fear of pregnancy or with an unconquerable loathing. Of course, a great deal of this aversion which women experience is the result of their former training. The girl is taught before marriage that the act is a most degrading thing, and is told that it is the accomplishment of this one thing for which man desires her before marriage. Afterwards all is supposed to be changed. She is expected to have an entirely new philosophy as soon as the marriage certificate is in her hands. The average young man knows little of the art of love, and is consequently unable to beautify their relations or to teach her a new psychology. The first year is spent in secret misery on her side, and ruptures and misunderstandings between them both. The average woman will tell you she loves to be caressed and to express her affection for her husband, but could be quite satisfied without intercourse. This is especially true of the intellectual woman, who is acknowledging her lessening interest in the sex relation, and even repulses affectionate demonstration, fearing it must terminate in sexual intercourse (mainly the fear of pregnancy). Surely this is something to be squarely faced by every intelligent man and woman, and serious enough to deserve our untiring interest. Something must be wrong. What is it? Does this theory offer a solution to any? It may. Nearly all women who practise it testify to its benefits, while few men complain of it. Those who do, say that to control the ejaculation to-day means a seminal loss later during sleep. The advocates, however, say this will occur at first, but after the organs become accustomed to their new function this will wear off, and there will be no seminal loss. All men in the Oneida community realised that this control was a necessary attainment if they would be regarded with favor by the women in the group. Its accomplishment was necessary to their mutual happiness, and they had to learn it. If there is a method which in practice expresses the highest mutual affection and reveals one’s own strength and power, then by all means let mankind know it.
