Apparently, the author so frequently quoted in the preceding chapter, is not merely the high priest of the cultus auto-eroticus; of single and mutual pollution; but equally so of the universal wrecker of marital happiness, generally known as conjugal fraud.
Under the caption Coitus Reservatus, also called Coitus Interruptus, meaning the commencement of the marriage rite in harmony with nature's dictates, proceeding almost to the climax, then discontinuing for the time being, he tells us:
"It should be the constant aim and endeavor
of both parties to continually lift all sex affairs above the
plane of animality, mere physical gratification, into the realm
of mental and spiritual delight."(6)
-----------------------------------------------------
(6) This statement has our whole-hearted approval. The marital
relationship should most certainly be lifted above the animal
plane and the practice he teaches does this because no living
animal would be guilty of such practices; but that Coitus Reservatus,
a cheating and defrauding of one another can possibly be considered
as a spiritual practice, even though it may be a carnal
(below human) delight, is beyond the conception of the normal
mind. -----------------------------------------------------
"To this end, let it be said at once that such a condition can be reached, in the greatest degree, by the practice of what is known, in scientific terms, as coitus reservatus, which translated, means going only part of the way in the act, and not carrying it to its climax, the organism (orgasm). Described in terms with which the reader is now familiar, it means, carrying the act only through the first and second stages, the "courting stage," in common parlance, teasing, the union of the organs (to near climax) and stopping there!"
"Going a bit into details, this act of reservatus really unites the first two parts of the act into a common whole, making it simply one continuous piece of "courting," merely that, and nothing more.
"To engage in this form of coitus, not nearly the effort should be made to arouse the sexual passions of either of the parties, as has already been described as fitting for complete coitus. The organism (orgasm) is not desideratum in this case, but it is just a delightful expression of mutual love.
"It is a sort of prolonged and all embracing kiss, in which the sex organs are included as well as the lips. They kiss each other as the lips kiss each other. It is "courting," par excellence, without the hampering of clothes or conventionality of any kind."
Here we have a perfect example of the modern method of procedure in conjugal fraud, one of the most damnable practices now cursing the marriage relationship, totally contrary to every law of nature and God, if we do not consider the Bible a book of lies in both the human and subhuman realms. Not one word can be said in its favor.
The practice of mutual masturbation previously considered, destroys the parties participating by draining them gradually of their virile force without replacing it through exchange.
This defrauding burns up the body and Soul, because the creative forces are centered for the purpose of both relief and exchange, only to be denied expression at the last moment, resulting in congestions, followed by irritations and many other ailments.
The author does not actually believe his own inculcations. In speaking of the male weakling, who has not sufficient manly strength to satisfy the longings of his mate, he writes:
"After a man has passed the orgasm, it is, in most
cases, impossible for him to continue the act, right then and
there, and bring the woman to the climax, if she has not yet arrived,
from the fact that, with the expulsion of the semen, usually detumescence
of the glans at once takes place, and the organ is incapable of
exciting the woman when in this conditions.(7)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(7) If, or when, this is true, it is due either to ignorance or
weakness. Proper instructions or treatment will quickly rectify
the error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"If the husband is ahead first, there is no possibility
of the wife's reaching the climax at that embrace. THIS LEAVES
HER UNSATISFIED, ALL HER SEX ORGANS CONGESTED, AND THE WHOLE SITUATION
IS UNSATISHACTORY IN THE EXTREME."
We fully concur in the last sentence as it expresses exact facts. We have capitalized them to call the reader's special attention to the truths voiced; thus clearly indicating how inconsistent is the average writer on these subjects, and how illogical his conclusions.
In instances of indulgence in the sexual embrace, where the strength of the husband is insufficient for the satisfaction of his wife, forcing him to discontinue the marriage rite before she reaches the climax, he at least bathes her creative organism with the seminal fluid; doing much toward reducing the inflammation and irritation resulting from unsatisfied desire.
In conjugal fraud, termed reservatus, not even this occurs. The congested, inflamed organism is forced to attempt gradually to "throw back" into circulation the blood and the fluids which were held ready for expulsion and exchange at the crisis; and has to contend with the after-irritation without the soothing serums to relieve the intensity of it.
If, as the author admits, and which we maintain is true, the unsatisfied desire of the wife and consequent congestion has serious results on her health, how much greater, think you, is the continuous congesting and resulting irritation following the repeated conjugal fraud (reservatus) suggested; lacking the cooling and healing effects of being bathed by the seminal fluid?
We have personally listened to the confessions and treated an uncounted number of women suffering from the effect of love-hunger as the result of weakness in the husbands. These wives were to be pitied, but could be helped by careful instructions.
In most instances they accepted the situation, being mindful of the "for better or for worse" of the marriage ceremony; respecting their husbands, believing them blameless.
At the same time, we have come in close relationship with an almost equal number of women whose husbands continually defraud them by coitus reservatus; most of these poor wives are beyond hope; having lost faith in nature, man and God.
They are "burned out," like hollow trees ravished by forest fires; the inner spirit crushed and shrunken; the Soul seared and distorted; sex itself having become the serpent creeping in the dust on its belly and, like it, cursed by God.
Even these can be saved if they are willing to obey, but most of them are no longer possessed of sufficient stamina to make the required effort toward self-redemption.
In the quotation to follow, the author foolishly believes he is offering credulous man the key to the Paradise of Love; whereas, as a fact, he is teaching the most direct route to Prostatic ailments, the most dreadful ravages from which man can suffer; frequently termed the "hell-fire" of middle to old age.
"This method is of special service during the `unfree time.' If rightly used, it will not tend to increase the desire for `spending,' but it will, on the contrary, allay and satisfy the sexual desires, most perfectly.
"If, while learning how, sometimes the inexperienced
should `get run away with,' and feel that it is better to go on
and have the climax, all right. But, as times goes on, the practice
of carrying the act only to the end of the second part, will grow,
and in due time will be well established.(8) Those who have mastered
this wholesome and loving(9) art will sometimes meet in this way
a score of times during a month or so, without once coming to
the climax." -----------------------------------------------------
(8) And, with it, almost every form of the so-called "male"
and "female" trouble, paving the way for quacks and
charlatans to reap rich harvests. Such an unwholesome situation
is the basis for so many of the sorrows and miseries of married
life.
(9) "Degrading and disgusting" practice would be a far
more correct description. Whoever attempts to practice according
to these instructions will soon find himself in the whirlpool
of sex debasement and all that is subhuman. -----------------------------------------------------
It is illogical to claim that any organs as sensitive as those of the creative system can be brought to the highest state of expectancy, thoroughly enpassioned or tumescent, and then allowed to remain in that condition by refusal to give them relief, without serious damage to the human system.
Any one who has ever attempted this is aware that there is an intense feeling of uneasiness in the parts, inducing a physical and mental unrest which nothing but a normal and fully completed embrace can relieve.
Admittedly, if this practice is continued for any length of time and in the manner suggested, it will become established, but this is due to the weakening of the internal forces and the gradual loss of sensitiveness of the entire genital organism. It is a process of "burning up," which results from the overheating, without properly tempering, of any sensitive material substance.
Any one posing as the inculcator of an art, or a method, should at least be consistent, but the author of this special system for the destruction of body and Soul, frequently contradicts himself, as note the following.
"...., if it sometimes happens that the husband should arrive at the climax before the wife does, and he could not bring her to an organism (orgasm) by excitation with the spent glans, it would be perfectly right for him to substitute his finger, and satisfy her in that way. Of course, this would not be as satisfying to her as it would have been could she have met his simultaneously, but it is far better than for her not to be entirely satisfied. Many a woman suffers all night long with unsatisfied desire, her organs congested and tumescent, because she has been left unsatisfied by a husband who was spent before she was ready, and then left her! Such cases might be entirely relieved, if the parties knew the truth, and were not too ignorant, or prejudiced, or ashamed, to do what should be done to make the best of a situation."
In one paragraph we are informed in detail how the embrace may be commenced, the act carried to almost the climax, and then discontinued, without increasing the desire for indulgence; on the contrary, allaying and satisfying the sexual appetite; in due time becoming established and a normal act.
Then he tells us of the suffering resulting to a woman when
her desires remain unsatisfied (10), because of not being brought
to the climax. These contradictions are met throughout the book,
but do not render its several inculcations any the less dangerous
because the ordinary reader, seeking a method offering the gratification
of lust without obliging him to meet the responsibilities of his
act, will not be apt to recognize these contradictions.
-----------------------------------------------------
(10) This description of such a woman's dissatisfaction and suffering
is all too correct, and one of the chief causes of it is practices
such as here advocated.
-----------------------------------------------------
We heartily concur in the statement relative to the desirability of relieving the suffering of the woman resultant on her not being brought to the climax, but have never known of the necessity for semi-erotic practices on the part of the husband; one who is more or less of a weakling can be instructed in natural methods, making it possible for him to perform his manly conjugal duties with entire satisfaction.
The author's advice to the single is on a par with that offered the married, as note the following:
"If a bride and bridegroom knew enough to introduce each other to the delights of an organism (orgasm) by `spending' each other by external excitation of the organs with their hands a few times before they united the organs at all, it would be to their lasting well-being. This is especially true for the bride. If her lover would take her in his arms, even with all her clothes on, as she sat on his lap, in their bridal chamber, alone, and stroked her vulva till she `spent,' the chances are many to one that he would have introduced her to such joy that she would never forget it, all her life."
It is inconceivable that anyone living in the present century and possessing the education required to pass the strict examinations of a Medical Collage, could possibly be guilty of fostering upon an already bewildered people such unhuman, unnatural, degrading practices.
We are thinking of the father who, adoring his daughter and believing her innocence personified, with a feeling of assurance of having entrusted her into the care of a man who is certain to protect her from all that is evil and degrading!
What will be his reaction when he learns that he has permitted her to fall into the hands of a carnal brute who, leading her to believe that he is fondling her, caressing her and doing all in his power to prepare her for God's most holy exercise of the creative function, then proceeds to do to her one of the foulest of all deeds--masturbate her--an ugly word, but both truthful and descriptive; what will he do?
Whether such a Soul-shattering practice would bring her a "joy that she would never forget, all her life," depends entirely upon the morality and finesse of her character. If she is one begotten in a family where vulgarity is the rule of character, she may accept it as a natural incident, one to be expected; but if a girl-woman such as we have in mind, as hoping our daughter to be, she would slap the brute across the face, damn his Soul to perdition, and quickly seek relief in a Court of Justice.
The one thing in life that the mentally and physically normal young man looks forward to and a consummation he never forgets, is the entering of the great unknown - the first complete marriage embrace he enjoys with his bride. Were such a practice indulged, the rite following would be a farce, a parody on the Divine creative act.
"Indeed, if a bride to be, who was so innocent or ignorant
of her sex possibilities that she had never experienced an organism
(orgasm) - had never `spent' - could be `put wise' before her
bridal night, if she could be instructed enough to lead her to
engage in some form of auto-erotism, bringing herself to an ORGASM
with her own hand, just for the sake of the experience it would
give her, and so that she would have some clear idea of what she
really wanted, before she went into the arms of her lover - if
she could do this, in the right mental attitude, it would be greatly
to her well-being, a worthy and valuable addition to her stock
of knowledge of herself and of the powers that are latent within
her. Her alleged loss of innocence by such an act would be nothing
compared with the wisdom she would gain by the experience."(11)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(11) We may be in error, but it is our humble opinion that the
demons of hell could not spawn forth an inculcation more disgusting
and degrading than this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Established churches have inculcated the doctrine that the Serpent of Satan, once in the Garden of Eden, no longer exists; however, it is our firm opinion that if that particular serpent did die, then Satan (personified evil) has created one far superior to the original tempter; such instructions for the defilement of the innocent, emanating from it.
Apparently it is not sufficiently destructive to the race that many of our finest girls ignorantly and innocently fall victims to the habit of self-abuse, totally ignorant of the penalty to be paid later. We must now witness the spectacle of writers, accepted as authorities, teaching self-pollution to our maidens, deluding them into the belief the experience is necessarily wise and proper for obtaining sexual satisfaction.
Unquestionably such practices add both experience and wisdom to the sum total of the girl's possessions; but they likewise will be a constant reminder of degradation and self-pollution; a feeling of uncleanliness, and an incapacity to look into the eyes of the innocent youth without the ever-present thought of unworthiness.
Girls who fall victims to the habit, through the machinations of others equally guilty, can readily be forgiven. Theirs is not a conscious guilt. The girl who deliberately degrades her most sacred treasure cannot be excused on any grounds.
We venture to say that if actual knowledge and experience is essential to the welfare of his daughter, the average father who is also a man in the true sense of the term, would far prefer to see his daughter in the arms of a clean man, even though he is not her husband, and the embrace righteously consummated, thus permitting them the continued freedom of being able to face their fellow-being and God without shame, than to have her guilty of this shameful practice, damned by God, causing the actor to hide the face with shame.
"The fact is, this whole matter of sexual excitation by means of the hand, or in any other way than the union of the organs, has received a black eye at the hands of would-be purists, which it in no way deserves. As already noted, the word masturbation has been fastened to such acts, and then any and every form of it has been condemned far beyond what the facts warrant, till the minds of the rank and file are wholly misled in the premises! When one looks at the situation from the point of view which insists that all the sex functions should be under the control of the will, than light is thrown upon the entire subject. Seen in this way, any form of sex stimulation, or autoerotism (auto-erotism meaning self-satisfaction) which is not carried to excess, is right and wholesome."
Answering this, we reiterate former statements:
First: Any attempt to relieve the creative organism from the vital, or seminal fluids, other than by the union of the male and female organisms, is self-abuse, self-pollution, and damned by God and all chaste minds.
Second: We are not purists, nor would-be purists. We consider everything God created as pure and holy, and its right use sanctioned by Him; but self satisfaction in any form which necessitates the "casting of the seed upon the ground" is defrauding both to the self and God; therefore destructive to body and Soul alike; making of man eventually less than the lowest creature of the field.
Third: Let us thank God with our whole hearts that the rank and file are not yet inoculated with the practice of the "beast" of Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon; fortunate in remaining uninitiated in the "rites that damn the Soul." Let us hope they never will be.
Forth: There is a vast difference between sex stimulation and self-gratification, by this writer termed "auto-erotism." "Sex stimulation" is properly applied to the method of arousing the self or one's partner to an intense desire for the embrace. This is natural, normal and desirable, and may be properly termed a display of affection and endearments. Auto-erotism is plain, every-day masturbation; a practice shunned by all normal clean minded men and women.
Fifth: Self gratification is never wholesome; is always degrading and destructive. It should be avoided as the devil is said to flee Holy water.
Sixth: The creative law permits the excitation of the sexual organism only for the purpose of arousing the desire of the dormant party who is to become one of the participants in the divine drama. When this is accomplished, the union must take place; nor dare it be discontinued until both parties are at ease and at peace.
To do otherwise is to commit conjugal fraud and will certainly arouse the disgust of the one defrauded. The seminal fluid has for its purpose, aside from procreation, the "charging" of the entire person of the female; just as a current from a generator charges the cells of a battery; thus bringing peace and good-will to the entire being; while the magnetic forces in her lochia has an equally desirable benefit on the physical and mental being of the male.
Seventh: Either life or death are hidden in the marital embrace. It is the original "Tree of Life" that stands in the "midst" of the Garden of Eden for those who obey the Law and do not eat of the forbidden fruit. Self-satisfaction, eroticism, mutual eroticism and conjugal fraud of every form and every manner of embrace, not based on love and affection between those engaged in the marriage rite, are the forbidden fruit and are "plucked" from the "Tree of Death."
The conjugal act is a marriage, "marriage" meaning
union, or Holy rite, when based on mutual desire, engaged
in normally and naturally to final satisfaction. This results
in love and affection between the two and from it are born the
progeny of a greater world of the future on the one hand; Rejuvenation
and REgeneration on the other, when the act has a spiritual basis,
and in the ultimate, the REgeneration of the race.
