This treatise addresses the complex topics surrounding human reproduction, covering everything from the anatomy of the male and female reproductive systems to the philosophy of procreation and the prevention of conception. Intended for a readership curious about marriage and family planning, it aims to provide practical, scientifically backed advice on sexual health and reproductive choices. At the start of this guide, Ashton sets the stage by highlighting the importance of understanding sexual physiology for those considering marriage and parenthood. He critiques other physiological texts for their misleading information and quackery while promising readers straightforward advice based on modern science. The opening section meticulously details the male generative organs, their functions, and a brief overview of seminal fluid, while also voicing concerns about the societal pressures and health risks tied to early or excessive sexual activity. This combination of educational content and critical perspective establishes a clear intent to equip the reader with essential knowledge for making informed decisions related to marriage and procreation.
