Modern society offers no opportunity more conducive to mental adultery than is found in the custom of spooning?Create.
Christ's statement being true, in view of the prevalence of promiscuous love making, it is certainly true that the victims of this form of adultery exceed those of the overt act. The reader is not to infer from this arraignment of this subject that all who indulge in hugging and kissing are charged with the sin of mental adultery. Pure and innocent young people might use this custom, as a means of expressing their love for each other, for a short time with only limited injury. If it is persisted in, it must lead to mental adultery, for the same reason that tippling leads to drunkenness. No human hand ever misappropriated property until the mental thief had stolen the property over and over, again and again. Finally the mental thief becomes the master and forces the hands to take the stolen property.
The overt act of adultery is never committed until mental adultery has been committed time and again. Spooning is the cause that leads to mental adultery and finally to the overt act.
Girls do not voluntarily surrender their virtue because of a difference in wages of $8 and $10 a week. Money is at the bottom of the white slave traffic and all commercialized vice. Money can be no more than a contributory cause of a girl's voluntary fall. A halfwitted girl, half trained by a half-witted mother, would sell her virtue; a normal girl would not.
A system of ethics that teaches girls to permit men to kiss and hug them until their passions are aroused beyond self-control is responsible for the fall of girls and men as well. The conclusion is irrefutable. Here, and not elsewhere, do we find the one cause for the downfall of young people. Only cringing, inexcusable moral cowardice and criminal mock modesty will longer keep teachers, ministers and parents from placing these facts in the hands of the youth.

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians. Reappraising the operation of social and sexual power in Victorian society and fiction, it makes a radical contribution to English studies, nineteenth-century and gender studies, and the history of science.
Our Posthuman Future Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution
by Francis Fukuyama (Author)
A decade after his now-famous pronouncement of “the end of history,” Francis Fukuyama argues that as a result of biomedical advances, we are facing the possibility of a future in which our humanity itself will be altered beyond recognition. Fukuyama sketches a brief history of man’s changing understanding of human nature: from Plato and Aristotle to the modernity’s utopians and dictators who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. Fukuyama argues that the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person’s descendants will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken with the best of intentions. In Our Posthuman Future, one of our greatest social philosophers begins to describe the potential effects of genetic exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.
