o the
sensitive young woman who has had the benefits of proper upbringing, the
wedding day is, ironically, both the happiest and most terrifying day of
her life. On the positive side, there is the wedding itself, in which
the bride is the central attraction in a beautiful and inspiring
ceremony, symbolizing her triumph in securing a male to provide for all
her needs for the rest of her life. On the negative side, there is the
wedding night, during which the bride must pay the piper, so to speak,
by facing for the first time the terrible experience of sex.
t
this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth.Some young
women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity and
pleasure! Beware such an attitude! A selfish and sensual husband can
easily take advantage of such a bride. One cardinal rule of marriage
should never be forgotten: GIVE LITTLE, GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL,
GIVE GRUDGINGLY. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage
could become an orgy of sexual lust.
n
the other hand, the bride's terror need not be extreme. While sex is
at best revolting and at worse rather painful, it has to be endured,
and has been by women since the beginning of time, and is compensated
for by the monogamous home and by the children produced through it. It
is useless, in most cases, for the bride to prevail upon the groom to
forego the sexual initiation. While the ideal husband would be one who
would approach his bride only at her request and only for the purpose
of begetting offspring, such nobility and unselfishness cannot be
expected from the average man. ost
men, if not denied, would demand sex almost every day. The wise bride
will permit a maximum of two brief sexual experiences weekly during the
first months of marriage. As time goes by she should make every effort
to reduce this frequency.
eigned
illness, sleepiness, and headaches are among the wife's best friends
in this matter. Arguments, nagging, scolding, and bickering also prove
very effective, if used in the late evening about an hour before the
husband would normally commence his seduction.
lever
wives are ever on the alert for new and better methods of denying and
discouraging the amorous overtures of the husband. A good wife should
expect to have reduced sexual contacts to once a week by the end of
the first year of marriage and to once a month by the end of the fifth
year of marriage.

y
their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete their
child bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all
sexual contacts with the husband. By this time she can depend upon his
love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the
home. Just as she should be ever alert to keep the quantity of sex as
low as possible, the wise bride will pay equal attention to limiting
the kind and degree of sexual contacts. Most men are by nature rather
perverted, and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety
of the most revolting practices. These practices include among others
performing the normal act in abnormal positions; mouthing the female
body; and offering their own vile bodies to be mouthed in turn.
udity,
talking about sex, reading stories about sex, viewing photographs and
drawings depicting or suggesting sex are the obnoxious habits the male
is likely to acquire if permitted.
wise bride will make it the goal never to allow her husband to see her
unclothed body, and never allow him to display his unclothed body to
her. Sex, when it cannot be prevented, should be practiced only in
total darkness. Many women have found it useful to have thick cotton
nightgowns for themselves and pajamas for their husbands. These should
be donned in separate rooms. They need not be removed during the sex
act. Thus, a minimum of flesh is exposed.
nce
the bride has donned her gown and turned off all the lights, she
should lie quietly upon the bed and await her groom. When he comes
groping into the room she should make no sound to guide him in her
direction, lest he take this as a sign of encouragement. She should
let him grope in the dark. There is always the hope that he will
stumble and incur some slight injury which she can use as an excuse to
deny him sexual access.
hen
he finds her, the wife should lie as still as possible. Bodily motion
on her part could be interpreted as sexual excitement by the
optimistic husband.
f
he attempts to kiss her on the lips she should turn her head slightly
so that the kiss falls harmlessly on her cheek instead. If he attempts
to kiss her hand, she should make a fist. If he lifts her gown and
attempts to kiss her anyplace else she should quickly pull the gown
back in place, spring from the bed, and announce that nature calls her
to the toilet. This will generally dampen his desire to kiss in the
forbidden territory.
f
the husband attempts to seduce her with lascivious talk, the wise wife
will suddenly remember some trivial non-sexual question to ask him.
Once he answers she should keep the conversation going, no matter how
frivolous it may seem at the time.
ventually,
the husband will learn that if he insists on having sexual contact, he
must get on with it without amorous embellishment. The wise wife will
allow him to pull the gown up no farther than the waist, and only
permit him to open the front of his pajamas to thus make connection.
he
should be absolutely silent or babble about her housework while he is
huffing and puffing away. Above all, she should lie perfectly still
and never under any circumstances grunt or groan while the act is in
progress. As soon as the husband has completed the act, the wise wife
will start nagging him about various minor tasks she wishes him to
perform on the morrow. Many men obtain a major portion of their sexual
satisfaction from the peaceful exhaustion immediately after the act is
over. Thus the wife must insure that there is no peace in this period
for him to enjoy. Otherwise, he might be encouraged to soon try for
more.
ne
heartening factor for which the wife can be grateful is the fact that
the husband's home, school, church, and social environment have been
working together all through his life to instill in him a deep sense
of guilt in regards to his sexual feelings, so that he comes to the
marriage couch apologetically and filled with shame, already half
cowed and subdued. The wise wife seizes upon this advantage and
relentlessly pursues her goal first to limit, later to annihilate
completely her husband's desire for sexual expression.
