Love-Marriage-Birth Control

Any statesmanlike review, therefore, will recognise that here we have an instinct-so fundamental, so imperious-that its influence is a fact which has to be accepted: suppress it you cannot. You may guide it into healthy channels-but an outlet it will have, and if that outlet is inadequate or unduly obstructed, irregular channels will be forced.

We uphold the control of sex love outside marriage by the individual-and that we are right in so doing is incontestable. But let us realise that in practice self-control has a breaking point, and that if in any community marriage is difficult or late of attainment, an increase of irregular unions will inevitably result.
