S-653.5. KAESSMANN, Fred G.
Sexual philosophy … Lawrence, Massachusetts: Health-Wealth Publishing House, [c1912].
31, [1] p. ; 15 cm.“You are not healthy, physically, mentally or morally—if you are misusing your sexual forces, and this you includes just about 999 out of 1,000 persons. Strong statement, the foregoing? Yes, a strong statement, yet competent authorities say that it is correct … When does one misuse his sexual forces? Listen carefully: When one uses them for any other purpose than for pro-creation. You cry out in astonishment, ‘what!’ Also, you begin to think of ‘competent authorities’ who say otherwise … you think of certain writers whose books are well advertised. It does not spell merit in the books themselves. Indeed, the fact that these writers who differ with us have taken the contrary view simply proves that they know little or nothing of the subject—or that they are rascals” (p. 3). Kaessman continues: “continence pays—pays big—pays big in health—in happiness—in dollars and cents—and this—because lack of continence causes the sickness, and indirectly, the death of nine out of ten grown-up persons” (p. 4).
