IDEAL MARRIAGE: FUNDAMENTAL EQUALITY – A REMOVAL OF SEX TABOOS
Author: admin
A removal of sex taboos would have other advantages, such as enabling boys and girls to be given a more adequate sex education than is now possible, and eliminating the taboos which part of our over-dressed civilization has developed for the naked body as it really is. It is not surprising that romantic feelings sometimes suffer a rather serious shock at marriage, when one considers how the esthetics of courtship have as their object either a clothed human being or one imagined along the lines of an art which, since ancient Greek times, has falsely idealized the human body and particularly the sexual characteristics.Thus our ideal of equality between men and women extends to practically all phases of life. As far as possible a couple should enter marriage with the same background of experience in every respect. The line must be drawn only at the point where biological differences make community of experience impossible. Here an understanding and sympathy derived from theoretical knowledge must suffice.*105\275\8*
