Chapter 1. Initial Intercourse
Of course, almost every man who has had the experience of marrying
a woman possessing a hymen manages to survive the ordeal somehow, just
as a man who has never delivered an extemporaneous address finally stumbles
through an unorganized presentation.
Chapter 12. Oral Connection
The reasons for prejudice [against "oral connection"] are
obvious. Firstly, the tendency is unconsciously associated with homosexualism,
the thought of which is disagreeable to normal people.
Secondly, the genital area of our bodies has always been regarded as
of doubtful cleanliness. Again, this concept can be faulty if both male
and female observe proper hygienic habits.
Cleanliness is a vital factor regardless of the type of relationship
between sexes. There should be no greater relaxation in its application
to one part of the body than to another. If anything, greater caution
should be exercised in any area likely to offend. Among the civilized,
specific attention is given the genital region.
Common sense suggests that a well-cleansed male organ is free of all
odor.
The truth is that the universal kiss is not so wholesome a convention
that oral contact with a cleansed genital area need be regarded as a
perverted activity. Consequently, where oral connection is concerned,
an imaginative rather than actual condition has created the prejudices
that exist against it.
Of course, this form of sex play is never engaged in as a day-after-day
practice. It severely taxes the nervous system, particularly the male's.
The highly passionate woman, however, almost without exception will
usually devote some period of foreplay to an oral caressing of the male
organ. Generally, mutual activity is reserved for times of superpassion
when the emotion of either male or female or both, impels them to find
a release requiring the closest and most intimate form of expression.
The bidet, of course, is a highly civilized feature and should be an
essential appurtenance in every American household. It encourages daily
douching, a practice not engaged in nearly enough by American women,
who usually resort to it only following a sexual relationship or the
end of a period. This is not sufficiently frequent to eliminate the
secretion formed in the vagina and vaginal vault. Douching should be
performed regularly as a matter of routine hygiene.
Chapter 18. Sexual Miscellany
There is nothing indecent about the nude human body; it is only one's
thoughts which make it so. The penis is no less an organ than an arm
or a leg, and a woman's breast no more unusual than the buttocks exposed
in a brief swimming suit. Toady, a reproduction of "September Morn"
arouses hardly a flash of interest. We are accustomed to it.
The artist looks at his nude model with a mind far removed from the
pubic region. He sees only those organs which he wishes to paint. The
obstetrician probes, and the surgeon removes an ovary, without becoming
sexually aroused. Their minds are clean, and all see the human body
for what it is -- an assortment of organs. Others look at it and see
only indecency. Let them examine their minds.
False modesty touches both sexes, but is largely confined to the female.
The assumption of every husband should be that his wife is to some extent
a victim of it. He should, therefore, take the initiative, and make
a studied effort to insure the fact that his mate enters into intimacy
with complete abandon. In fact, the thoughtful husband, whatever his
mood, will be alert to anticipate his wife's feelings. Since the average
woman is reluctant to make passionate advances, she waits for him to
take the initiative; frequently she waits in vain.
The female has very definite duties apart from her obligation to render
normal sexual service to her husband. She must remember that, while
there are certain regular periods in which intercourse is neither practicable
nor convenient, her husband may nevertheless require sexual relief.
Should her period run five, six, seven, or eight days, this is a lengthy
interval for the male to practice self-control. Of course, he should
be able to do it, but there is no reason to force it upon him when the
simple expedient of the female hand or oral connection can remove the
necessity. Since many men are reluctant to force any type of relationship
upon their wives during this period, the woman herself should take the
initiative. Furthermore, in all probability this variation will prove
enjoyable to him and will be just as satisfying. A thoughtful wife will,
independently, look for these opportunities to gratify her husband's
sexual needs. It is true that she deserves first consideration, but
not the only consideration.
Sex in marriage is not a one-sided matter. If excessive modesty or
aloofness tends to make it so, a wife had better adjust her conceptions;
otherwise, she may find her husband seeking the society of a more suitable
mistress.
The male is usually direct in indicating his feelings. When his hands
start moving over the female body a wife instantly recognizes in this
a symptom of his mood. Nevertheless, although they also are entitled
to similar liberties, and should not hesitate to stimulate the male
organ as an expression of their mood, few women will release their inhibitions
to this extent.
Many newly wed men, instead of proceeding leisurely, are impatient
to run the gamut of sex in the first few relationships. One can well
understand the reaction of a woman who, on the second night of intimacy
with her husband, finds him experimenting with the rear-entry position,
the conception of which may be completely new to her. If she assumes
that he is utilizing her as a mechanism to satisfy jaded tastes or as
a medium of experiment, she can hardly be blamed, particularly if she
is uninformed. Virgins have been known to burst into tears when their
husbands first attempted this position, and accused the men of lacking
respect for them. Obviously these women are naive.
A woman who insists upon practicing sexual activity exclusively in
the dark or beneath the covers is, indeed, overdoing the matter of modesty.
Indulgence conducted in the light has the capacity also to heighten
the excitement of the male; it gives him the opportunity of viewing
the physical charms of his wife. However, they should be casually observed
and not gloated over.
There is an old axiom, the substance of which is that the perfect wife
is a lady in the drawing room, a capable cook in the kitchen, and a
wanton in bed. There is much truth in this. Many a prostitute can satisfy
a man more completely than a virtuous woman; she is a mistress of sexual
technique, knows masculine psychology, and has no inhibitions. Having
consorted with all types, she understands their sexual natures thoroughly
and conducts herself accordingly.
A wife should realize that all normal men are sexually responsive to
the exposure of the female body. This is particularly true where strange
women are concerned, since the male perpetually seeks variety. It accounts
for the popularity of burlesque and girl shows in general, and for exhibitions
of the "strip-tease," bubble-dance," and fan-dance character.
Few husbands, if any, are totally indifferent to these attractions.
A wife attired in brief lingerie has as much opportunity to arouse
interest in an apathetic male as the scantily clad chorines in a present-day
musical.
In fact, any indirect exposure which would stimulate a man if observed
on another woman has a comparable effect when provided by his wife;
perhaps no tin the same degree, but sufficiently extensive to make him
desire her. It is up to the wife to sense these opportunities and utilize
them subtly. Nudity is not effective when paraded.
The sex life of the average couple is a deadly routine gone through
with a monotonous sameness, the same position in the same bed at the
same time in the same way. There is no reason why matrimony need interrupt
al the pre-marital habits of a wedded couple. An occasional drive to
the haunts of yesteryear and a petting party to recapture a measure
of the old-time magic should not strike the married reader as a preposterous
suggestion. Neither should a weekend spent at a modest farm or an occasional
night at a hotel.
