Side 84 - Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh.
Side 58 - No continent man need be deterred by this apocryphal fear of atrophy of the testes from living a chaste life. It is a device of the unchaste — a lame excuse for their own incontinence, not founded on any physiological law.
Side 58 - I have been consulted by persons who feared, or who professed to fear, that if the organs were not regularly exercised they would become atrophied, or that in some way impotence might be the result of chastity. There exists no greater error than this, or one more opposed to physiological truth. I may state that I have, after many years of experience, never seen an instance of atrophy of the generative organs from this cause.
Side 17 - The eyea are prominent, but the lids, from being still rudimentary, do not cover the eyeball ; the nose forms an obtuse eminence ; the nostrils are rounded and separated ; the mouth is gaping, and the epidermis can be distinguished from the true skin. At ten weeks, the embryo is from one and a half to two and a half inches in length, and weighs an ounce or an ounce and a half. The...
Side 16 - ... extremities. So much can be observed about the end of the third week after conception. "At about the fifth week the embryo presents more distinctions.
Side 58 - There exists no greater error than this, or one more opposed to physiological truth. In the first place, I may state that I have, after many years' experience, never seen a single instance of atrophy of the generative organs from this cause. I have, it is true, met with the complaint — but in what class of cases does it occur ? It arises in all instances from the exactly opposite cause — early abuse : the organs become worn out, and hence arises atrophy.
Side 69 - In the four years from fourteen to eighteen, she accomplishes an amount of physiological cell change and growth which Nature does not require of a boy in less than twice that number of years.
Side 73 - A careless management of this function, at any period of life during its existence, is apt to be followed by consequences that may be serious ; but a neglect of it during the epoch of development, that is, from the age of fourteen to eighteen or twenty, not only produces great evil at the time of the neglect, but leaves a large legacy of evil to the future. The system is then peculiarly susceptible; and disturbances of the delicate mechanism we are considering, induced during the catamenial weeks...
Side 57 - One argument in favour of incontinence deserves special notice, as it purports to be founded on physiology. I have been consulted by persons who feared, or professed to fear, that if the organs were not regularly exercised, they would become atrophied, or that in some way impotence might be the result of chastity. This is the assigned reason for committing fornication. There exists no greater error than this, or one more opposed to physiological truth. In the first...
Side 102 - ... between husband and wife ; witness his ill health and ill temper, and the wreck of body and mind to which she has been reduced. The husband suffers mentally, because no man can behave in so unmanly a way without a keen sense of self-abasement, without being stung by the chastisement of remorse. Dishonor the body, the temple of the soul, and you dishonor the soul.
