Marriage and Morals (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the complex and ever-evolving realm of sexual ethics, exploring how societal norms and personal values have shaped our understanding of marriage and morality throughout history. Beginning with an examination of diverse cultural practices across time and space, the author challenges traditional assumptions about the "naturalness" of certain sexual behaviors. From the intriguing example of the Trobriand Islanders, where fatherhood is a foreign concept, to the strictures of Victorian society, the book reveals the surprising diversity of human sexual customs and the powerful influence of cultural conditioning. By dissecting the historical development of the patriarchal family and the rise of Christian sexual ethics, the author sheds light on the often-unspoken motivations behind our moral codes. This book invites readers to question the foundations of their own beliefs about sex and relationships, prompting a deeper understanding of the interplay between biology, psychology, and cultural forces in shaping our intimate lives. Ultimately, this book argues that a critical and informed approach to sexual ethics is essential for building a more just and fulfilling society, one where individual well-being and healthy relationships can flourish.
