Again, a wife, unpregnant, and when she rightfully wishes to remain so, may be somewhat fearful of becoming pregnant when she meets her husband, and so hesitate to give her pa.s.sion full play, thereby missing the utmost delights of an embrace--but if she be pregnant, and so has no fear on this score, she can give herself up to utter abandonment to her impulses.

On this point, the final word is, use _common sense_, in a _spirit of absolute_ MUTUALITY.

It goes without saying that it would be wicked, not to say a crime, for a husband to _compel_ his wife to engage in coitus during pregnancy, against her will. On the other hand, many a wife has first experienced an o.r.g.a.s.m when meeting her husband during pregnancy. The reason for this is that her fear of becoming pregnant is not then present--a condition which has before kept her from the climax.

It is further true that many a wife will greatly relieve and delight her husband if, on occasion, and as both may desire, she will relieve him with her hand; or sometimes, that they engage in mutual relief by this means during pregnancy.

CONCLUSION

In closing this volume, the author wishes to say, as in opening, that no apology is offered for what has been written or said herewith. All has been set down in love, by a lover, for the sake of lovers yet to be, _in the hope of helping them on towards a divine consummation_.

As a final direction _Master the Art of Love_, which is _the divinest art in all the world; then study, and do your best to master the Science of Procreation_. It is these two, the Art of Love and the Science of Procreation, that, together, make married life a success.

Without these, or, surely, without the first, there can be no such thing as true marriage. Hence, this is the _first_ to learn, to master. It is worthy of the most careful study, the most faithful experiment.

It is right for people who never can have children to marry, and to share with each other mutual s.e.x delights. It is far better for a husband and wife, having learned the Art of Love, to have children--and a home.

Thrice happy are the married lovers who live in the spirit of this sentiment, exalted to the highest spiritual plane; and if, out of such love exchanges children are begotten and born, and a perfect home is established, then married life is worth living. G.o.d has joined such together and nothing can put them asunder.

This volume is not something to be read once, and then put aside and forgotten. It should be studied, experimented upon, read again and again, especially by those who have difficulties in married life to overcome. And for _all_ young married people, it should be a sort of Guide to Happiness that should be frequently consulted and its directions "tried out" and followed to the limit.

The fact is that, in true marriage, neither the husband nor the wife can be selfishly supreme. If selfishness a.s.serts itself, on the part of either husband or wife, h.e.l.l is sure to follow. There can be no true marriage under such circ.u.mstances, because there is no supremacy in true love, and it is only true love that can make an abiding true marriage. In true marriage, such as both G.o.d and Nature design should be, there is perfect comradery, equals walking with equals, with the principle of love and mutual helpfulness shared alike by both. Let no reader of this book forget these primal facts, or fail to act in accordance with them! For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven!
