To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The boy or girl who is left to chance as regards development of such habits, and who takes a wrong turn, is seriously handicapped when he or she comes to grown years and is called upon to exercise stern self-restraint under considerable temptation. Parents are often literally shame- fully to blame in these matters, they are quite deliberately blind in many instances ; and obviously such parents cannot hope to influence their children in sex matters when serious life begins. I do not think that ...the fact that social purity is at such a low ebb that it can bear no restraint justifies the use of methods wrong in themselves. We hear of such so-called Neo-Malthusran methods even among the poor, but it seems to me difficult to recognise much of the teaching of Malthus in the matter. Malthus recognised that food production could not possibly keep pace with the birth-rate unless the latter were held up by various checks. Mostly such checks are dis- agreeable i. E. , war, pestilence, crime. His cure for the com- plication is extraordinarily different from the methods now openly advocated.
