My age is seventy years, and, thanks to male continence, my health is
good and I am as vigorous sexually as I ever was. My only regret is that
I was not informed of it earlier in life. It is not only a splendid
sanitary measure, but is a promoter of pleasure and the greatest
harmoniser of domestic life that I know. It is my decided opinion that
where this practice is adhered to, except where reproduction is desired,
strife and contention, separation and divorce would never occur. It
seems to me that no one who is seeking improvement would, after
experiencing this practice, ever wish to go back to the crude sensual
practice in whose wake follow satiety, exhaustion, disgust, and remorse.
The waste of vital and nerve force attending the usual custom of
intercourse is, in my opinion, a leading cause of the craving for
alcohol and tobacco; while in this new practice both parties, if
magnetism exists, experience a renewal of life force that is in the
highest degree wholesome. If young men would abide by this practice they
would find that their self-control would be immensely enhanced in every
department of life, and that they would retain the vigor and enjoyment
of their sexual nature long after the generality of men have become
impotent.
