Marriage and Maternity

(1) MANKIND being what it is, marriage must be unsuccessful in the great majority of cases. It is so because of the general ignorance of matters relating to sex, the result of a faulty sex-education, and because of prejudices, the fruits of faulty standards of sex-conduct based on the religious and social prohibitions which doubtless once served their purposes but are now most certainly anachronous. The standards of to-day are those of the ancient Israelites as modified by the Christian Churches, and more often than not have no relation to biological fact or to modern social needs.
