+ <h1>
+ SEX-LOVE
+ </h1>
+ <p>
+ The subject of Sex is most difficult to deal with, not only on account of
+ a certain prudery as well as a natural reticence on the subject, but
+ doubtless also because the passion itself being so tremendously strong and
+ occupying such a large part of human thought&mdash;and words being so
+ scanty and inadequate on the subject&mdash;everything that <i>is</i> said
+ is liable to be misunderstood; the most violent inferences are made, and
+ equivocations surmised, from the simplest remarks; qualified admissions of
+ liberty are interpreted into recommendations of unbridled licence; and
+ generally the perspective of literary expression is turned upside down by
+ the effect of the unfamiliarity of the topic on the reader's mind.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There is indeed a vast deal of fetishism in the current treatment of Sex;
+ and the subject is dealt with as though it lay quite out of line with any
+ other need or faculty of human nature. Nor can one altogether be surprised
+ at this when one perceives of what vast import Sex is in the scheme of
+ things, and how deeply it it has been associated since the earliest times
+ not only with man's personal impulses but even with his religious
+ sentiments and ceremonials.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Next to hunger this is doubtless the most primitive and imperative of our
+ needs. But in modern civilised life Sex enters probably even more into <i>consciousness</i>
+ than hunger. For the hunger-needs of the human race are in the later
+ societies fairly well satisfied, but the sex-desires are strongly
+ restrained, both by law and custom, from satisfaction&mdash;and so assert
+ themselves all the more in thought.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To find the place of these desires, their utterance, their control, their
+ personal import, their social import, is a tremendous problem to every
+ youth and girl, man and woman.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There are a few of both sexes, doubtless, who hardly feel the passion&mdash;who
+ have never been "in love," and who experience no strong sexual appetite&mdash;but
+ these are rare. Practically the passion is a matter of universal
+ experience; and speaking broadly and generally we may say it is a matter
+ on which it is quite desirable that every adult at some time or other <i>should</i>
+ have experience&mdash;actual and physical, as well as emotional. There may
+ be exceptions; but, as said, the sex-instinct lies so deep and is so
+ universal, that for the understanding of life&mdash;of one's own life, of
+ that of others, and of human nature in general&mdash;as well as for the
+ proper development of one's own capacities, such experience is almost
+ indispensable.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ And here in passing I would say that in the social life of the future this
+ need will surely be recognised, and not only will young people be
+ deliberately prepared and instructed for the fulfilment of Sex when their
+ time comes, but (while there will be no stigma attaching to voluntary
+ celibacy) the state of enforced celibacy in which vast numbers of women
+ live to-day will be looked upon as a national wrong, almost as grievous as
+ that of prostitution&mdash;of which latter evil indeed it is in some
+ degree the counterpart or necessary accompaniment.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Of course Nature (personifying under this term the more unconscious, even
+ though human, instincts and forces) takes pretty good care in her own way
+ that most people should have sexual experience. She has her own purposes
+ to work out, which in a sense have nothing to do with the individual&mdash;her
+ racial purposes. But she acts in the rough, with tremendous sweep and
+ power, and with little adjustment to or consideration for the later
+ developed and more conscious and intelligent ideals of humanity. The
+ youth, deeply infected with the sex-passion, suddenly finds himself in the
+ presence of Titanic forces&mdash;the Titanic but sub-conscious forces of
+ his own nature. "In love" he feels a superhuman strength&mdash;and rightly
+ so, for he identifies himself with cosmic energies and entities, powers
+ that are preparing the future of the race, and whose operations extend
+ over vast regions of space and millennial lapses of time. He sees into the
+ abysmal deeps of his own being, and trembles with a kind of awe at the
+ disclosure. And what he feels concerning himself he feels similarly
+ concerning the one who has inspired his passion. The glances of the two
+ lovers penetrate far beyond the surface, ages down into each other, waking
+ a myriad antenatal dreams.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the moment he lets himself go, rejoicing in the sense of limitless
+ power beneath him&mdash;borne onwards like a man down rapids, too
+ intoxicated with the glory of motion to think of whither he is going; then
+ the next moment he discovers that he is being hurried into impossible
+ situations&mdash;situations which his own moral conscience, as well as the
+ moral conscience of Society, embodied in law and custom, will not admit.
+ He finds perhaps that the satisfaction of his imperious impulse is, to all
+ appearances, inconsistent with the welfare of her he loves. His own
+ passion arises before him as a kind of rude giant which he or the race to
+ which he belongs may, Frankenstein-like, have created ages back, but which
+ he now has to dominate or be dominated by; and there declares itself in
+ him the fiercest conflict&mdash;that between his far-back Titanic
+ instinctive and sub-conscious nature, and his later developed, more
+ especially human and moral self.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ While the glory of Sex pervades and suffuses all Nature; while the flowers
+ are rayed and starred out towards the sun in the very ecstasy of
+ generation; while the nostrils of the animals dilate, and their forms
+ become instinct, under the passion, with a proud and fiery beauty; while
+ even the human lover is transformed, and in the great splendors of the
+ mountains and the sky perceives something to which he had not the key
+ before&mdash;yet it is curious that just here, in Man, we find the magic
+ wand of Nature suddenly broken, and doubt and conflict and division
+ entering in, where a kind of unconscious harmony had first prevailed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Heine I think says somewhere that the man who loves unsuccessfully knows
+ himself to be a god. It is not perhaps till the great current of sexual
+ love is checked and brought into conflict with the other parts of his
+ being that the whole nature of the man, sexual and moral, under the
+ tremendous stress rises into consciousness and reveals in fire its
+ god-like quality. This is the work of the artificer who makes immortal
+ souls&mdash;who out of the natural love evolves even a more perfect love.
+ "In tutti gli amanti," says Giordano Bruno, "é questo fabro vulcano" ("in
+ all lovers is this Olympian blacksmith present").
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It is the subject of this conflict, or at least differentiation, between
+ the sexual and the more purely moral and social instincts in man which
+ interests us here. It is clear, I think, that if sex is to be treated
+ rationally, that is, neither superstitiously on the one hand nor
+ licentiously on the other, we must be willing to admit that both the
+ satisfaction of the passion and the non-satisfaction of it are desirable
+ and beautiful. They both have their results, and man has to reap the
+ fruits which belong to both experiences. May we not say that there is
+ probably some sort of transmutation of essences continually effected and
+ effectible in the human frame? Lust and Love&mdash;the <i>Aphrodite
+ Pandemos</i> and the <i>Aphrodite Ouranios</i>&mdash;are subtly
+ interchangeable. Perhaps the corporeal amatory instinct and the ethereal
+ human yearning for personal union are really and in essence one thing,
+ with diverse forms of manifestation. However that may be, it is pretty
+ evident that there is some deep relationship between them. It is a matter
+ of common experience that the unrestrained outlet of merely physical
+ desire leaves the nature drained of its higher love-forces; while on the
+ other hand if the physical satisfaction be denied the body becomes
+ surcharged with waves of emotion&mdash;sometimes to an unhealthy and
+ dangerous degree. Yet at times this emotional love may, by reason of its
+ expression being checked or restricted, transform itself into the
+ all-penetrating subtle influence of spiritual love.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Marcus Aurelius quotes a saying of Heraclitus to the effect that the death
+ of earth is to become water (liquefaction), and the death of water is to
+ become air (evaporation), and the death of air is to become fire
+ (combustion). So in the human body are there sensual, emotional,
+ spiritual, and other elements of which it may be said that their death on
+ one plane means their transformation and new birth on other planes.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It will readily be seen that I am not arguing that the lower or more
+ physical manifestations of love should be killed out in order to force the
+ growth of the more spiritual and enduring forms&mdash;because Nature in
+ her slow evolutions does not generally countenance such high and mighty
+ methods; but am merely trying to indicate that there are grounds for
+ believing in the transmutability of the various forms of the passion, and
+ grounds for thinking that the sacrifice of a lower phase may sometimes be
+ the only condition on which a higher and more durable phase can be
+ attained; and that therefore Restraint (which is absolutely necessary at
+ times) <i>has</i> its compensation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Any one who has once realised how glorious a thing Love is in its essence,
+ and how indestructible, will hardly need to call anything that leads to it
+ a sacrifice; and he is indeed a master of life who accepting the grosser
+ desires as they come to his body, and not refusing them, knows how to
+ transform them at will into the most rare and fragrant flowers of human
+ emotion.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Until these subjects are openly put before children and young people with
+ some degree of intelligent and sympathetic handling, it can scarcely be
+ expected that anything but the utmost confusion, in mind and in morals,
+ should reign in matters of Sex. That we should leave our children to pick
+ up their information about the most sacred, the most profound and vital,
+ of all human functions, from the mere gutter, and learn to know it first
+ from the lips of ignorance and vice, seems almost incredible, and
+ certainly indicates the deeply-rooted unbelief and uncleanness of our own
+ thoughts. Yet a child at the age of puberty, with the unfolding of its
+ far-down emotional and sexual nature, is eminently capable of the most
+ sensitive, affectional, and serene appreciation of what Sex means
+ (generally more so, as things are to-day, than its worldling parent or
+ guardian); and can absorb the teaching, if sympathetically given, without
+ any shock or disturbance to its sense of shame&mdash;that sense which is
+ so natural and valuable a safeguard of early youth.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To teach the child first, quite openly, its physical relation to its own
+ mother, its long indwelling in her body, and the deep and sacred bond of
+ tenderness between mother and child in consequence; then, after a time, to
+ explain the work of fatherhood, and how the love of the parents for each
+ other was the cause of its own (the child's) existence: these things are
+ easy and natural&mdash;at least they are so to the young mind&mdash;and
+ excite in it no surprise, or sense of unfitness, but only gratitude and a
+ kind of tender wonderment.* Then, later on, as the special sexual needs
+ and desires develop, to instruct the girl or boy in the further details of
+ the matter, and the care and right conduct of her or his own sexual
+ nature; on the meaning and the dangers of solitary indulgence&mdash;if
+ this habit has been contracted; on the need of self-control and the
+ presence of affection in all relations with others, and (without
+ asceticism) on the possibility of deflecting physical desire to some
+ degree into affectional and emotional channels, and the great gain so
+ resulting: all these are things which an ordinary youth of either sex will
+ easily understand and appreciate, and which may be of priceless value,
+ saving such an one from years of struggle in foul morasses, and waste of
+ precious life-strength. Finally, with the maturity of the moral nature,
+ the supremacy of the pure human relation should be taught&mdash;not the
+ extinguishment of desire, but the attainment of the real kernel of it, its
+ dedication to the well-being of another&mdash;the evolution of the <i>human</i>
+ element in love, balancing the natural&mdash;till at last the snatching of
+ an unglad pleasure, regardless of the other from whom it is snatched, or
+ the surrender of one's body to another, for any reason except that of
+ love, become things impossible.
+ </p>
+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+ *See Appendix.
+</pre>
+ <p>
+ Between lovers then a kind of hardy temperance is much to be recommended&mdash;for
+ all reasons, but especially because it lifts their satisfaction and
+ delight in each other out of the region of ephemeralities (which too soon
+ turn to dull indifference and satiety) into the region of more lasting
+ things&mdash;one step nearer at any rate to the Eternal Kingdom. How
+ intoxicating indeed, how penetrating&mdash;like a most precious wine&mdash;is
+ that love which is the sexual transformed by the magic of the will into
+ the emotional and spiritual! And what a loss on the merest grounds of
+ prudence and the economy of pleasure is its unbridled waste along physical
+ channels! So nothing is so much to be dreaded between lovers as just this&mdash;the
+ vulgarisation of love&mdash;and this is the rock upon which marriage so
+ often splits.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There is a kind of illusion about physical desire similar to that which a
+ child suffers from when, seeing a beautiful flower, it instantly snatches
+ the same, and destroys in a few moments the form and fragrance which
+ attracted it. He only gets the full glory who holds himself back a little,
+ and truly possesses who is willing if need be not to possess.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ On the other hand it must not be pretended that the physical passions are
+ by their nature abhorrent, or anything but admirable and desirable in
+ their place. Any attempt to absolutely disown or despite them, carried out
+ over long periods either by individuals Or bodies of people, only ends in
+ the <i>thinning out</i> of the human nature&mdash;by the very consequent
+ stinting of the supply of its growth-material, and is liable to stultify
+ itself in time by leading to reactionary excesses. It must never be
+ forgotten that the physical basis throughout life is of the first
+ importance, and supplies the nutrition and food-stuff without which the
+ higher powers cannot exist or at least manifest themselves. Intimacies
+ founded on intellectual and moral affinities alone are seldom very deep
+ and lasting; if the physical or sexual basis is quite absent, the
+ acquaintanceship is liable to die away again like an ill-rooted plant. In
+ many cases (especially of women) the nature is never really understood or
+ disclosed till the sex-feeling is touched&mdash;however lightly. Besides
+ it must be remembered that in order for a perfect intimacy between two
+ people their bodies must by the nature of the case be free to each other.
+ The sexual and bodily intimacy may not be the object for which they come
+ together; but if it is denied, its denial will bar any real sense of
+ repose and affiance, and make the relation restless, vague, tentative and
+ unsatisfied.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In these lights it will be seen that what we call asceticism and what we
+ call libertinism are two sides practically of the same shield. So long as
+ the tendency towards mere pleasure-indulgence is strong and uncontrolled,
+ so long will the instinct towards asceticism assert itself&mdash;and
+ rightly, else we might speedily find ourselves in headlong Phaethonian
+ career. Asceticism is in its place (as the word would indicate) as an <i>exercise</i>;
+ but let it not be looked upon as an end in itself, for that is a mistake
+ of the same kind as going to the opposite extreme. Certainly if the
+ welfare and happiness of the beloved one were always really the main
+ purpose in our minds we should have plenty of occasion for self-control,
+ and an artificial asceticism would not be needed. We look for a time
+ doubtless when the hostility between these two parts of man's unperfected
+ nature will be merged in the perfect love; but at present and until this
+ happens their conflict is certainly one of the most pregnant things in all
+ our experience; and must not by any means be blinked or evaded, but boldly
+ faced. It is in itself almost a sexual act. The mortal nature through it
+ is, so to speak, torn asunder; and through the rent so made in his
+ mortality does it sometimes happen that a new and immortal man is born.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Sex-act affords the type of all pleasures. The dissatisfaction which
+ at times follows on it is the same as follows on all pleasure which is <i>sought</i>,
+ and which does not come unsought. The dissatisfaction is not in the nature
+ of pleasure itself but in the nature of <i>seeking</i>. In consciously
+ surrendering oneself to the pursuit of things external, the "I" (since it
+ really has everything and needs nothing) deceives itself, goes out from
+ its true home, tears itself asunder, and admits a gap or rent in its own
+ being. This is what is meant by <i>sin</i>&mdash;the separation or
+ sundering (German <i>Sünde</i>) of one's being&mdash;and all the pain that
+ goes therewith. It all consists in <i>seeking</i> those external things
+ and pleasures; not (a thousand times be it said) in those external things
+ or pleasures themselves. They are all fair and gracious enough; their
+ place is to stand round the throne and offer their homage&mdash;rank
+ behind rank in their multitudes&mdash;if so be we will accept it. But for
+ us to go out of ourselves to run after <i>them</i>, to allow ourselves to
+ be divided and rent in twain by <i>their</i> attraction, that is an
+ inversion of the order of heaven; and in so doing does sin and all
+ suffering enter in.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Of all pleasures the sexual tempts most strongly to this desertion of
+ one's true self, and stands as the type of Maya and the world-illusion;
+ yet the beauty of the loved one and the delight of corporeal union all
+ turn to dust and ashes if bought at the price of disunion and disloyalty
+ in the higher spheres&mdash;disloyalty even to the person whose mortal
+ love is sought. The higher and more durable part of man, whirled along in
+ the rapids and whirlpools of desire, experiences tortures the moment it
+ comes to recognise that It is something other than physical. Then comes
+ the struggle to regain its lost Paradise, and the frightful effort of
+ co-ordination between the two natures, by which the centre of
+ consciousness is gradually transferred from the fugitive to the more
+ permanent part, and the mortal and changeable is assigned its due place in
+ the outer chambers and forecourts of the temple.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Pleasure should come as the natural (and indeed inevitable) accompaniment
+ of life, believed in with a kind of free faith, but never sought as the
+ object of life. It is in the inversion of this order that the uncleanness
+ of the senses arises. Sex to-day throughout the domains of civilisation is
+ thoroughly unclean.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Everywhere it is slimed over with the thought of pleasure. Not for joy,
+ not for mere delight in and excess of life, not for pride in the
+ generation of children, not for a symbol and expression of deepest
+ soul-union, does it exist&mdash;but for pleasure. Hence we disown it in
+ our thoughts, and cover it up with false shame and unbelief&mdash;knowing
+ well that to seek a social act for a private pleasure is a falsehood. The
+ body itself is kept religiously covered, smothered away from the rush of
+ the great purifying life of Nature, infected with dirt and disease, and a
+ subject for prurient thought and exaggerated lust such as in its naked
+ state it would never provoke. The skin becomes sickly and corrupt, and of
+ a dead leaden white hue, which strangely enough is supposed to be more
+ beautiful than the rich rose-brown, delicately shaded into lighter tints
+ in the less exposed parts, which it would wear if tanned by daily welcome
+ of sun and wind. Sexual embraces themselves are seldom sanctified by the
+ glories of Nature, in whose presence alone, under the burning sun or the
+ high canopy of the stars and surrounded by the fragrant atmosphere, their
+ meaning can be fully understood: but take place in stuffy dens of dirty
+ upholstery and are associated with all unbeautiful things.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Even literature, which might have been expected to preserve some decent
+ expression on this topic, reflects all too clearly by its silence or by
+ its pruriency the prevailing spirit of unbelief; and in order to find any
+ sane faithful strong and calm words on the subject, one has to wade right
+ back through the marshes and bogs of civilised scribbledom, and toil
+ eastward across its arid wastes to the very dawn-hymns of the Aryan races.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In one of the Upanishads of the Vedic sacred books (the Brihadaranyaka
+ Upanishad) there is a very beautiful passage in which instruction is given
+ to the man who desires a noble son as to the prayers which he shall offer
+ to the gods on the occasion of congress with his wife. In primitive simple
+ and serene language it directs him how "when he has placed his virile
+ member in the body of his wife and joined his mouth to her mouth" he
+ should pray to the various forms of deity who preside over the operations
+ of nature: to Vishnu to prepare the womb of the future mother, to
+ Prajapati to watch over the influx of the semen, and to the other gods to
+ nourish the foetus, etc. Nothing could be (I am judging from the only
+ translation I have met with, a Latin one) more composed, serene, simple
+ and religious in feeling, and well might it be if such instructions were
+ preserved and followed, even down to the present day; yet such is the
+ degradation we have come to that actually Max Müller in his translations
+ of the Sacred Books of the East appears to have been unable to persuade
+ himself to render this and a few other quite similar passages into
+ English, but gives them in the original Sanskrit! One might have thought
+ that as Professor in the University of Oxford, presumedly <i>sans peur et
+ sans reproche</i>, and professedly engaged in making a translation of
+ these books for students, it was his duty and it might have been his
+ delight to make intelligible just such passages as these, which give the
+ pure and pious sentiment of the early world in so perfect a form; unless
+ indeed he thought the sentiment impure and impious&mdash;in which case we
+ have indeed a measure of the degradation of the public opinion which must
+ have swayed his mind. As to the only German translation of the Upanishad
+ which I can find, it baulks at the same passages in the same feeble way&mdash;repeating
+ <i>nicht zu wiedergeben, nicht zu wiedergeben</i>, over and over again,
+ till at last one can but conclude that the translator is right, and that
+ the simplicity and sacredness of the feeling is in this our time indeed
+ "not to be reproduced."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Our public opinion, our literature, our customs, our laws, are saturated
+ with the notion of the uncleanness of Sex, and are so making the
+ conditions of its cleanness more and more difficult. Our children, as
+ said, have to pick up their intelligence on the subject in the gutter.
+ Little boys bathing on the outskirts of our towns are hunted down by
+ idiotic policemen, apparently infuriated by the sight of the naked body,
+ even of childhood. Lately in one of our northern towns, the boys and men
+ bathing in a public pool set apart by the corporation for the purpose,
+ were&mdash;though forced to wear some kind of covering&mdash;kept till
+ nine o'clock at night before they were allowed to go into the water&mdash;lest
+ in the full daylight Mrs. Grundy should behold any portion of their
+ bodies! and as for women and girls their disabilities in the matter are
+ most serious.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Till this dirty and dismal sentiment with regard to the human body is
+ removed there can be little hope of anything like a free and gracious
+ public life. With the regeneration of our social ideas the whole
+ conception of Sex as a thing covert and to be ashamed of, marketable and
+ unclean, will have to be regenerated. That inestimable freedom and pride
+ which is the basis of all true manhood and womanhood will have to enter
+ into this most intimate relation to preserve it frank and pure&mdash;pure
+ from the damnable commercialism which buys and sells all human things, and
+ from the religious hypocrisy which covers and conceals; and a healthy
+ delight in and cultivation of the body and all its natural functions and a
+ determination to keep them pure and beautiful, open and sane and free,
+ will have to become a recognised part of national life.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Possibly, and indeed probably, as the sentiment of common life and common
+ interest grows, and the capacity for true companionship increases with the
+ decrease of self-regarding anxiety, the importance of the mere sex-act
+ will dwindle till it comes to be regarded as only one very specialised
+ factor in the full total of human love. There is no doubt that with the
+ full realisation of affectional union the need of actual bodily congress
+ loses some of its urgency; and it is not difficult to see in our
+ present-day social life that the want of the former is (according to the
+ law of transmutation) one marked cause of the violence and extravagance of
+ the lower passions. But however things may change with the further
+ evolution of man, there is no doubt that first of all the sex-relation
+ must be divested of the sentiment of uncleanness which surrounds it, and
+ rehabilitated again with a sense almost of religious consecration; and
+ this means, as I have said, a free people, proud in the mastery and the
+ divinity of their own lives, and in the beauty and openness of their own
+ bodies.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Sex is the allegory of Love in the physical world. It is from this fact
+ that it derives its immense power. The aim of Love is non-differentiation&mdash;absolute
+ union of being; but absolute union can only be found at the centre of
+ existence. Therefore whoever has truly found another has found not only
+ that other, and with that other himself, but has found also a third&mdash;who
+ dwells at the centre and holds the plastic material of the universe in the
+ palm of his hand, and is a creator of sensible forms.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Similarly the aim of sex is union and non-differentiation&mdash;but on the
+ physical plane,&mdash;and in the moment when this union is accomplished
+ creation takes place, and the generation (in the plastic material of the
+ sex-elements) of sensible forms.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In the animal and lower human world&mdash;and wherever the creature is
+ incapable of realising the perfect love (which is indeed able to transform
+ it into a god)&mdash;Nature in the purely physical instincts does the next
+ best thing, that is, she effects a corporeal union and so generates
+ another creature who by the very process of his generation shall be one
+ step nearer to the universal soul and the realisation of the desired end.
+ Nevertheless the moment the other love and all that goes with it is
+ realised the natural sexual love has to fall into a secondary place&mdash;the
+ lover must stand on his feet and not on his head&mdash;or else the most
+ dire confusions ensue, and torments <i>ćonian</i>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Taking all together I think it may fairly be said that the prime object of
+ Sex is <i>union</i>, the physical union as the allegory and expression of
+ the real union, and that generation is a secondary object or result of
+ this union. If we go to the lowest material expressions of Sex&mdash;as
+ among the protozoic cells&mdash;we find that they, the cells, unite
+ together, two into one; and that, as a result of the nutrition that
+ ensues, this joint cell after a time (but not always) breaks up by fission
+ into a number of progeny cells; or if on the other hand we go to the very
+ highest expression of Sex, in the sentiment of Love, we find the latter
+ takes the form chiefly and before all else of a desire for union, and only
+ in lesser degree of a desire for race-propagation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ I mention this because it probably makes a good deal of difference in our
+ estimate of Sex whether the one function or the other is considered
+ primary. There is perhaps a slight tendency among medical and other
+ authorities to overlook the question of the important physical actions and
+ reactions, and even corporeal modifications, which may ensue upon sexual
+ intercourse between two people, and to fix their attention too exclusively
+ upon their child-bearing function; but in truth it is probable, I think,
+ from various considerations, that the spermatozoa pass through the tissues
+ and affect the general body of the female, as well as that the male
+ absorbs minutest cells <i>from</i> the female; and that generally, even
+ without the actual Sex-act, there is an interchange of vital and etherial
+ elements&mdash;so that there is a kind of generation taking place <i>in
+ each other</i>, as well as that more specialised generation which consists
+ in the propagation of the race.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ At the last and taking it as a whole one has the same difficulty in
+ dealing with the subject of Love which meets one at every turn in modern
+ life&mdash;the monstrous separation of one part of our nature from another&mdash;the
+ way in which&mdash;no doubt in the necessary course of evolution&mdash;we
+ have cut ourselves in twain as it were, and assigned "right" and "wrong,"
+ heaven and hell, spiritual and material, and other violent distinctions,
+ to the separate portions. We have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of good
+ and evil with a vengeance! The Lord has indeed driven us out of Paradise
+ into the domain of that "fabro vulcano" who with tremendous hammer-strokes
+ must <i>hammer the knowledge of good and evil out of us again</i>. I feel
+ that I owe an apology to the beautiful god for daring even for a moment to
+ think of dissecting him soul from body, and for speaking as if these
+ artificial distinctions were in any wise eternal. Will the man or woman,
+ or race of men and women, never come, to whom love in its various
+ manifestations shall be from the beginning a perfect whole, pure and
+ natural, free and standing sanely on its feet?

+ "I analysed a flower, I pointed out to her the beauty of colouring, the
+ gracefulness of shape, the tender shades, the difference between the parts
+ composing the flowers. Gradually, I told her what these parts were called.
+ I showed her the pollen, which clung like a beautiful golden powder to her
+ little rosy fingers. I showed her through the microscope that this
+ beautiful powder was composed of an infinite number of small grains. I
+ made her examine the pistil more closely, and I showed her, at the end of
+ the tube, the ovary, which I called a 'little house full of very tiny
+ children.' I showed her the pollen glued to the pistil, and I told her,
+ that when the pollen of one flower, carried away by the wind, or by the
+ insects, fell on the pistil of another flower, the small grains died, and
+ a tiny drop of moisture passed through the tube and entered into the
+ little house where the very tiny children dwelt; that these tiny children
+ were like small eggs, that in each small egg there was an almost invisible
+ opening, through which a little of the small drop passed; that when this
+ drop of pollen mixed with some other wonderful power in the ovary, that
+ both joined together to give life, and the eggs developed and became
+ grains or fruit. I have shown her flowers which had only a pistil and
+ others which had only stamens. I said to her, smiling, that the pistils
+ were like little mothers, and the stamens like little fathers of the
+ fruit....
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "Thus I sowed in this innocent heart and searching mind the seeds of that
+ delicate science, which degenerates into obscenity, if the mother, through
+ false shame, leaves the instruction of her child to its schoolfellows. Let
+ my little girl ask me, if she likes, the much dreaded question; I will
+ only have to remind her of the botany lessons, simply adding, the same
+ thing happens to human beings, with this difference, that what is done
+ unconsciously by the plants, is done consciously by us; that in a properly
+ arranged society one only unites one's self to the person one loves.'"&mdash;(Translated

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
