-
An interest so cardinal and persuasive as sex can scarcely be approached without emotional reaction, and common-sense is apt to fly out of the window... Like everything connected with sex this specific problem is not a simple one...
"Love and Youth" is commented upon in the Register,
20 January 1923, page 14d:
-
When I stray away from the beach proper and accidentally come across lovers enjoying the peaceful bliss of seclusion, I feel I am trespassing on holy ground... I believe that the artificial, elaborate secrecy and exaggerated mystery wrapped around sex has had, and still has, much to do with unholy excitement and the slips which cause so much sorrow. Do not drive the young people, the hope of the race, into dark places.
