ho lecherously stare at every
woman in whose presence they happen to be. These monsters stare at women as
though they were naked in a cage on exhibition. A man whose whole manner is
full of animal passion is not worthy of the respect of refined women. They
have no thoughts, no ideas, no sentiments, nothing to interest them but the
bodies of women whom they behold. The moral character of young women has no
significance or weight in their eyes. This kind of men are a curse to
society and a danger to the community. No young lady is safe in their
company.
8. REBUKING SENSUALISM.--If the young women would exercise an honorable
independence and heap contempt upon the young men that allow their
imagination to take such liberties, a different state of things would soon
follow. Men of that type of character should have no recognition in the
presence of ladies.
9. EARLY MARRIAGES.--There can be no doubt that early marriages are bad for
both parties. For children of such a marriage always lack vitality. The
ancient Germans did not marry until the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth year,
previous to which they observed the most rigid chastity, and in consequence
they acquired a size and strength that excited the astonishment of Europe.
The present incomparable vigor of that race, both physically and mentally,
is due in a great measure to their long established aversion to marrying
young. The results of too early marriages are in brief, stunted growth and
impaired strength on the part of the male; delicate if not utterly bad
health in the female; the premature old age or death of one or both, and a
puny, sickly offspring.
10. SIGNS OF EXCESSES.--Dr. Dio Lewis says: "Some of the most common
effects of sexual excess are backache, lassitude, giddiness, dimness of
sight, noises in the ears, numbness of the fingers, and paralysis. The
drain is universal, but the more sensitive organs and tissues suffer {411}
most. So the nervous system gives way and continues the principal sufferer
throughout. A large part of the premature loss of sight and hearing,
dizziness, numbness and pricking in the hands and feet, and other kindred
developments, are justly chargeable to unbridled venery. Not unfrequently
you see men whose head or back or nerve testifies of such reckless
expenditure."
11. NON-COMPLETED INTERCOURSE.--Withdrawal before the emission occurs is
injurious to both parties. The soiling of the conjugal bed by the shameful
manoeuvres is t
