About This Book
A series of frank, sermonlike essays argues that the sexual instinct is a noble and indispensable force in human life rather than a shameful or base impulse, and calls for open, sensible education to replace ignorance and furtive whispers. The author traces sexual differentiation as part of spiritual and communal development, condemns vice as a desecration of the body conceived as sacred, and emphasizes altruistic love and moral courage. Practical matters include discussion of divorce law reform and responses to common objections; much material derives from public addresses revised into chapters with added clarifications.
