tion, and most all these difficulties will disappear. Good
athletic exercise by walking, riding, or playing croquet, or any other
amusement, will greatly improve the condition. A good rest, however, will
be necessary to fully restore the mind and the body, then the natural
condition of the sexual organs will be resumed.

16. HAVING TWINS.--Having twins is undoubtedly hereditary and descends from
generation to generation, and persons who have twins are generally those
who have great sexual vigor. It is generally the result of a second
cohabitation immediately following the first, but some parents have twins
who cohabit but once during several days.

17. PROPER INTERCOURSE.--The right relation of a newly-married couple will
rather increase than diminish love. To thus offer up the maiden on the
altar of love and affection only swells her flood of joy and bliss;
whereas, on the other hand, sensuality humbles, debases, pollutes, and
never elevates. Young husbands should wait for an _invitation to the
banquet_, and they will be amply paid by the very pleasure sought.
Invitation or permission delights, and possession by force degrades. The
right-minded bridegroom will postpone the exercise of his nuptial rights
for a few days, and allow his young wife to become rested from the
preparation and fatigue of the wedding, and become accustomed to the
changes in her new relations of life.

18. RIGHTLY BEGINNING SEXUAL LIFE.--Intercourse promotes all the functions
of the body and mind, but rampant lust and sexual abuses soon destroy the
natural pleasures of intercourse, and unhappiness will be the result.
Remember that _intercourse_ should not become the polluted purpose of
marriage. To be sure, rational enjoyment benefits and stimulates love, but
the pleasure of each other's society, standing together on all questions of
mutual benefit, working hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder in the battle
of life, raising a family of beautiful children, sharing each other's joys
and sorrows, are the things that bring to every couple the best, purest,
and noblest enjoyment that God has bestowed upon man. {206}

1. To have offspring is not to be regarded as a luxury, but as a great
primary necessity of health and happiness, of which every fully-developed
man and woman should have a fair share, while it cannot be denied that the
ignorance of the necessity of sexual inte
