The entire subject of sex is one about which the majority of people appear to be unpardonably ignorant. The urge of sex has been grossly misunderstood, slandered, and burlesqued by the ignorant and the evil minded.
Men and women who are known to be blessed - yes blessed- with highly sexual natures, are usually looked as being people who will bear watching. Instead of being called blessed, they are usually called cursed.
Millions of people, even in this age of enlightenment, have inferiority complexes which they developed because of this false belief that a highly sexed nature is a curse. These statements, of the virtue of sex energy, should not be construed as justification for the libertine. The emotion of sex is a virtue only when used intelligently, and with discrimination. It may be misused, and often is, to such an extent that it debases, instead of enriches, both body and mind.
It seemed quite significant to the author, when he made the discovery that practically every great leader, whom he had he privilege of analyzing, was a man whose achievements were largely inspired by a woman. In many instances, the "woman in the case" was a modest, self-denying wife, of whom the public had heard but little or nothing. In a few instances, the source of inspiration has been traced to the "other women."
Every intelligent person knows that stimulation in excess through alcoholic drink and narcotics, is a destructive form of intemperance. Not every person knows, however, that overindulgence in sex expression may become a habit as destructive and as detrimental to creative effort as narcotics or liquor.
A sex-mad man is not essentially different from a dope-mad man! Both have lost control over their faculties of reason and will-power. Many cases of hypochondria (imaginary illness) grow out of habits developed in ignorance of the true function of sex.
It may be readily seen that ignorance on the subject of sex transmutation forces stupendous penalties upon the ignorant on the one hand, and withholds from them equally stupendous benefits on the other.
Widespread ignorance on the subject is due to the fact that the subject has been surrounded with mystery and dark silence. The conspiracy of mystery and silence has had the same effect upon the minds of young people that the psychology of prohibition had. The result has been increased curiosity, and desire to acquire more knowledge of all lawmakers, and most physicians-by training best qualified to educate youth on that subject-information has not been easily available.
