What is it ?
Dr. Alice B. Stockham has on the market a book known as Karezza, in which she very forcibly urges the practice of Karezza by husband and wife.
Space will not permit us to enter fully into its merits or its defects, if it has either or both. If the reader is sufficiently interested, we advise the reading of the book.
Dr. Litockham says: Karezza signifies 'to express affection in both words and actions.'" Also: "Karezza'' so consummates marriage that, through the power of will and loving thoughts, the crisis is not reached, but a complete control by both husband and wife is maintained throughout the entire relation, a conscious conservation of creative energy." In short, "unless procreation is desired, let the final propagative orgasm be entirely avoided. With abundant time and mutual reciprocity the interchange becomes satisfactory and complete without emission or crisis."
Dr. Sperry says: " Doubtless there are a few cold-blooded, eemisexed men and a considerable number of passionless women who could successfully adopt this practice. Perhaps a few old and sexually decayed men and women can employ it quite satisfactorily. I am forced to the conclusion that average men and women, who possess fullness of sexual vigor, alert minds and live nerves, can not indulge in sexual connection and experience a satisfactory play of the affections without passing on to coition, sexual spasm and discharge of semen. When starving men learn to hold pleasant and nutritious food in their mouths for an hour without swallowing it, then we may expect passionate men and women to adopt Zugassent's discovery (Karezza) as a practical method of healthfully enjoying the mental and physical pleasures of sexual embrace."

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.
