The Woman a Man Marries

CULTURED young college woman with a fine jL\. sense of fair play came to me years ago on the eve of marriage to have her physical fitness for the marital relation determined and her information of sexual life corrected and broadened. Following our conversation she expressed the wish that every young woman about to be married would follow the same course — preferably with a male physician, in order that she might learn the man's real attitude. This incident and many others like it form the real inspiration behind the writing of this book.

My only apology for adding one more book to the already large supply of works on social problems is, aside from the fact that our social development is by no means complete, the feeling that most of the hazardous questions are usually not answered. The aim of this book is to impart knowledge of a scientific and social nature to those who need it most : the women who consider ignorance and innocence synonymous when applied to sexual mysteries. Its aim is, moreover, to ground these women in the facts of sex as revealed in human biology, physiology and history and to suggest that their sentimental view of the sexual relation and the man's attitude toward it is not always in accord with the laws which govern this relation. For example, a well-known woman who writes often on the subject of sex once told me that she did not know that the male goes through a cycle comparable to that of the female, though much more frequent in recurrence. And when another professional man and I brought forward the evidence, she ended the discussion by saying, " Well, I simply don't believe it ! "
