ABSTRACT

Masturbation comes directly in conflict with education and the school. Especially during secondary or grammar-school years, during puberty proper, self-satisfaction is looked upon as the original sin, and is perhaps even more severely punished than sexual intercourse. In many cases this situation degenerates into complete self-neglect and crime, giving rise to offences such as housebreaking and robbery. It is undoubtedly one of the driving forces behind the so common thieving gangs of adolescents. Childbearing fantasies play almost the same part in the case of girls. These are mostly connected with the overcoming of a wicked woman rival. Women are also very adept at holding back urine or excrement, ostensibly from modesty, which usually ends in a very exciting situation. The best solution is love, and in order to arrive at this it is worthwhile to be ready to learn much and to endure temporary discomfort.
