ABSTRACT

The beloved woman can make use of certain safeguards for the control of the polygamous inclinations of the male. As the human race progresses in civilisation, the amatory life becomes more refined, the intensity of sexual enjoyment increases, and love comes to play an even greater part in the life and thoughts of mankind. In the case of two persons of opposite sex who love one another merely for the sake of sexual enjoyment, the search for more intense and more complex voluptuous pleasures has the aspect of libertinage. The salvation of married life is to be found, not only in multiplex elements of a moral and economic order, but in addition in rendering the sexual life which marriage implies less monotonous. The higher the degree of attraction which the sexual pleasures of marriage offer to the husband, the more probable it is that he will remain faithful to his wife.
