Chapter 16 -3

Interrupted handover or withdrawal also seems to be an open question.It is recognized by the highest authorities in the medical profession as the most common method of birth control.Undoubtedly it is also the oldest method. The example of Onan mentioned in the Jewish "Old Testament" classic "Genesis" is also because of its simplicity; And there is no need to spend a penny economically.However, as far as the health of the nervous system is concerned, the habit of ejaculation outside the body can undoubtedly cause problems at times.While we also recognize that withdrawal is so common, it is not enough to say that it can be problematic or often harmful.However, the facts are also very clear. In some cases, regardless of the number of people in this part, various mild neuropathy can occur. Or women's performance, some men and women both have this performance, and the origin of this performance, apart from ejaculation outside the body, there is no other reason to be found.It is relatively easy to understand that women are prone to this kind of expression.When a husband makes love, he may not always be considerate of his wife’s needs for libido, and he may not always be concerned about whether his wife has reached the state of hypersexuality. Under normal circumstances, women’s hypersexuality is higher than that of men. Slow, therefore, before the woman's sexual desire has not reached the level of hyperactivity, ejaculation outside the body has probably occurred.In this way, although men get the result of liberating their desires, women are bound to feel nervous tension, disappointment and annoyance because they are desperately unable to obtain liberating desires.As for the husband, since he was deeply afraid that he would not get the result of ejaculation outside the body, he had to worry about the extent of the libido process on his own side at all times, and he had to pull out early when he was in the hyperactive state. Fear of being overwhelmed, and the emotional shock caused by the lucky act of being reined in, sometimes have a somewhat adverse effect on the health of the nerves.Therefore, couples, on the one hand, even though they know the method of external ejaculation, sometimes they can't help but use it again and again, but if they find this kind of adverse effect on the nerves, and there seems to be no other reason for this effect to explain, they should stop for a while. Give up not to use.As far as many couples are concerned, the method of external ejaculation is undoubtedly not suitable, and they should use other relatively harmless birth control methods.That is to say, for ordinary couples, unless the art of sexual intercourse has reached a fairly mature level, the two parties can really sympathize with each other and cooperate closely. , the use of this method can also be done occasionally, and it should not become a practice.There is a way to prevent the wife from suffering from insufficient food and later losses, that is, at the beginning of sexual intercourse, allow more time for preparation, and make sure that the process of the wife's desire advances to a very deep level, and then the man ejaculates again. Compared with the arrival of women's hyperactivity, it will not be too early.

A copulation behavior that is the opposite of interrupting handover or ejaculation outside the body is delayed copulation or intercourse with ejaculation. Sometimes the patient will stop until the level of hyperactivity is not reached, and some will allow it to reach the level of hyperactivity in the end.Thorough sexual intercourse can be used as a method of contraception, so many people advocate this method recently, and many people practice it, but not as many people practice interrupted intercourse, because this method is relatively difficult.It was the practice of the people in the Oneida Community to use ninja intercourse legally to prevent pregnancy, and it was later used by Alice Stockham in her very popular "Karezza" Karezza ) advocated in the book.Delayed copulation is undoubtedly very suitable on the woman's side, and there are no bad results.Because this kind of intercourse has no restraint on her, and it is always maintained for a sufficient time, allowing her to calmly reach the hyperactive state.All women who have experience with this kind of intercourse seem to agree.However, whether it is equally suitable for men and has no adverse effects, opinions are not very consistent.For some cases, prolonged endurance may have some impact on the health of the nerves, and this impact is of the same nature as that of the interruption of coitus, but the degree is probably lighter.We have some reasons for thinking that such effects are possible.But for a large part of the examples, we did not find this effect.This kind of intercourse is not easy, and it is probably not done by people with a sound and stable nervous system, and this kind of people do not seem to feel that procrastination will have any bad results for them. Of course, we also admit that if you use Excessive, negative effects are still possible.

If the method of contraception is not right, or the method is careless and fails, even if pregnancy is still unavoidable, then it is easy to listen to it.The act of abortion cannot be done.Approving a woman's abortion, whether for personal health or social welfare, or even the future of the nation, is still a criminal charge.Most women wonder why this behavior is illegal, and do not understand why a poor woman can only secretly take ineffective and harmful abortion drugs for unwanted pregnancies. Wealthier women (as in England) have no other means but to go abroad to perform the operation, and to obtain what the state and the laws permit.In the future, when women have greater power over national legislation, the laws prohibiting abortion will inevitably undergo some amendments.This revision of the prohibition was just as necessary in fact, because it was based on old reasons which no longer apply.One day in the future, everyone will clearly admit that this is a personal issue, and it is beyond the reach of the law.If a pregnancy cannot be performed, it is the doctor, not the judge or the police, who says that it is not possible.At present in many countries enlightened public opinion is gradually moving in this direction, and in Russia abortion is not prohibited, if encouraged.Therefore, everyone who wants to have an abortion can get considerable medical and hygienic care in the hospital. This is not to admit that abortion is a good way, but before the knowledge of contraception is fully disseminated and the method of contraception is not fully improved, this is the only way to do it. A way out of tolerance.

Because ordinary contraceptive methods are not likely to be successful unless you are cautious, an alternative and more thorough method has gradually become popular in recent years, that is, sterilization.The contraceptive effectiveness of sterilization is absolute.And the method, in today's advanced surgical technique, is very simple and not dangerous.Surgery is required, but there is no need to remove the gonads, in men only need to cut off the vas deferens (vaSectomy) , while in women, only the fallopian tube or trumpet tube needs to be ligated or blocked (salpingectomy).Sterilization may not be of great value in the treatment of mental illness, but if it is carried out by force, it can have a very bad influence on a person's spiritual life.But if one method of birth control is used voluntarily, it seems to be very effective.All kinds of troubles of common contraceptive methods can be swept away after sterilization.Therefore, most people who are bothered by ordinary contraceptive methods can agree with this thorough sterilization method.The contraceptive method of sterilization is both thorough and irreversible once the operation is performed.Therefore, those who engage in it must give full consideration in advance, otherwise they will inevitably be too late.This layer is needless to say.

Some people, even people in the medical field, think that sterilization is still illegal at present.There is no solid basis for this dogma.The British Eugenics Society tried to get a bill in Parliament to promote sterilization, not with the intention of making it a legal practice (some people thought that was the intention, but it was unnecessary, as it was in fact done) , while allowing the benefits of sterilization to spread, so that people who live in hardship or have major genetic defects can also benefit from it.There are also doubts about this benefit, and unfortunately, even people in the medical field still don't know much about it.It is good that not all the children born to people with major genetic defects have the same defects, but no matter how large or small the proportion of such children is, it is undoubtedly always to the individual, the right to be sterilized. Society, so that it is a thing that is beneficial to the nation.In the interests of the nation, sterilization does not eliminate all intellectually unfit elements of the population.But it can be a starting point for this kind of elimination effort, and it is not a problem.In short, we still have to do a lot of educational work on the topic of sterilization, because there are still very few people who understand it, and their understanding is not sufficient.

A related issue that is often discussed is the frequency of sexual intercourse.Opinions in this regard are very mixed, and those who advocate it have their own prejudices, which are very arbitrary.Some people think that having sex even once a night is normal and necessary.They practiced it for many years without feeling any apparent harm.At the other extreme there are those who think that it is unnatural and abnormal that one should not have sexual intercourse except for the sake of succession, that is, perhaps two or three times in one's life.As far as animals in general are concerned, it is a fact that they do not have intercourse except for the function of procreation, but we should know that the object of our question is human beings. When we decide the standard of natural and unnatural for human beings, we can't help but refer to the separation of blood Isn't it a bit blind to ask species that are far away?What we have to consider is the general habit of mankind in this respect, which we know is not very narrowly directed towards procreation.Of course we admit that a nation with a low level of civilization but not affected by civilization or contaminated by the vices of civilization has much fewer desires than a nation with a high level of civilization (this is contrary to the erroneous assumption of ordinary people).But we don't have to learn from nations with a lower level of civilization than ours. If we feel that what we are doing is reasonable, we can also have our own habits, and we don't need to use them as a model.Yes, our sexual organs are born for the purpose of procreation, not for personal pleasure.But our hands were born with the purpose of helping our nutritional functions. Now we use them to play the piano and pipa. Is it wrong?A person uses his organ to obtain the pleasure of life and increase the excitement of the spirit. It may be so irrelevant to the original function of this organ that it is irrelevant, but because it can help life in general, this usage is still completely legitimate. , moral, whether we want to call it "natural" is after all a secondary question.In short, we should not take the meaning of nature too narrowly. Those who advocate "asking questions" to lower animals, and believe that only sexual intercourse for the purpose of succession is "natural", seem to be "natural" in other aspects of life. The lower animals should be used as examples, for example, the "unnatural wearing" of clothes should be abolished.In other words, if human beings do not have activities, then there are elements of art or humanity, of course they will be demonstrated, and this kind of performance will not really conflict with nature.There is a poem from the ancestors that said: "This is a kind of art. It is possible to change nature, but it is not to supplement nature at all. However, this so-called art may not be self-existing.

Leaving aside all plausible and urgently unprovable statements and speaking from the standpoint of fact, we must admit that the natural variation in the frequency of coitus is very wide.Therefore, we cannot lay down any rules in this respect, but we must find out the most suitable frequency for each individual case, not only for the case itself, but also with reference to his spouse.If there is some estrangement between the two sides, further efforts are needed to reconcile.In the past, there was a certain number of times, and it has existed since ancient times.Solon, the Greek statesman, prescribed men twice a month, and the Greek physicians advocated much the same.Martin, leader of the Religious Revolution.The rule set by Luther is twice a week, and those who agree with this rule probably account for the largest majority.Dr. Harvey (O. Harvey) made a comprehensive study of the statistical tables of various countries in the United States, and found that the most moderate frequency is 8 times in a month, accounting for about 50%, and the range of variation between the two ends is from the least in January. 3 times to a maximum of 15 times in January.

Irregular times are sometimes beneficial.The so-called irregularity refers to the fact that there is a very dense frequency first, followed by a long-term rest; the close frequency may be the result of accommodating women's sexual desire. Women often have more vigorous sexual desire after menstruation, so there is This is necessary.Women's sexual desires are probably more irregular and unpredictable than men's. Therefore, it is appropriate for her to take the initiative in the matter of sexual intercourse. After a man hands over this sovereignty to her, he will not suffer in fact.However, as far as things are concerned, it is better to divide the number of sexual intercourses evenly so that there is always a certain time distance between each two times than to increase the number of sexual intercourses.

As a result of increasing the number of times, it is inevitable to reduce the benefits of sexual intercourse both physically and mentally.To make sexual union truly a pleasure in life, a pleasure called "true ecstasy" in sex novels, according to the principle that rare things are more expensive, the frequency should always be sparse. Once the habit of too frequent sexual intercourse is established, there is another difficulty, that is, it is not easy to cope with long-term abstinence, such as traveling, sickness of one spouse, or recuperation period after childbirth (one month to six months). weeks).Whether or not to hand over during pregnancy is a difficult issue. Doctors are reluctant to give any advice on this issue, because they are afraid that it will cause emotional disputes between husband and wife.But the biggest crux of the matter is undoubtedly the tendency to miscarriage.The magnitude of this tendency varies greatly among women.It is said that some women, as long as you sneeze in front of her, she will have a miscarriage.Yes, even if you threw her out of a fifth-story window, she wouldn't have a miscarriage.If there is a tendency to miscarriage, abstinence or even temporary abstinence should be performed during pregnancy.

Generally speaking, the habit of abstinence or abstinence should also be cultivated during the last months of pregnancy.However, it takes considerable consideration to advise others to avoid intercourse altogether during pregnancy.Mostly, a sympathetic and intelligent couple will always figure out their own way to deal with it, and they will never encounter great difficulties. It is really a last resort. Even if they temporarily use masturbation to relieve their desires, there is nothing wrong with it.But the advice to teach the physician to abstain completely during this period may cause difficulties which he cannot later correct.It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss in detail the conditions of childbearing, that is, under what conditions it is possible to bear children, or how many children a normal and healthy couple should have.Most people think that unless a person gets married too late, it is best not to worry too much about pregnancy, that is, it is best to have a process of contraception after marriage.However, in the current state of society, the possibility of pregnancy after marriage is very small, because the knowledge of contraception has been quite popular.And even if there is a pregnancy, there is no danger in it.In the past, it was wrong to think that young women should not give birth too early.Not long ago (June 8, 1932), at the Edinburgh Obstetrics Society, Dr. Miller reported that 85% of the 174 pregnant women under the age of 17 who gave birth in the Royal Maternity Hospital were so-called ripe. And without resorting to medicine at all, only 8 cases used some artificial help because of the size difference.At the same time, in terms of infants, the mortality rate of stillbirth (that is, death after birth) and premature death is 6.5%.It is also lower than the general death rate (that is, including babies born to mothers of all ages) in the same hospital.

is 11.8%.It can be seen that giving birth at a young age is not inappropriate for the health of mother and child.Conversely, if the first childbirth occurs after middle age, the difficulties and dangers are much greater.However, irrespective of the age of the pregnant woman at the time of the first birth, it is in the interest of both mother and child, and also for the father, that there should always be a break of at least two years between two pregnancies.As far as the general situation is concerned, in modern times, the most appropriate number of children is from two to three. This should be the case for a family, and it should be the same for the whole population. In the past, social conditions were not as sound as they are now. The death rate was higher, the birth rate was higher, and the average number of children was larger.But now it is unnecessary. After the civilization of the society advances, the need for eugenics or national health will become more urgent.At that time, some families must have fewer children than two or three, while others may wish to have a few more children. ● Section 6 Infertility Problems Another problem in marriage is the problem of infertility or infertility.Before discussing this issue, we can put aside the following two examples: The first is that before marriage, both the man and the woman have made some careful consideration and feel that for various reasons, it is best not to have children temporarily or not to have children at all. And never want to have children.The second type is wanting to have children but temporarily not wanting to have children due to physical or psychological reasons, but only after surgical or medical treatment can still have the hope of having children.In addition to these two kinds, there are still a small number of couples who want to have children on the one hand, but on the other hand know that there is no way to have children.What about this example? There should not be many cases of such fundamental infertility.If this kind of couple really desires to have children, they should go through a medical examination before they get married.The results of the examination can at least let them know in advance what the chances of pregnancy and childbirth are.The author said probably, because no matter how detailed the inspection is, it is impossible to make a complete judgment in advance.It is also because there are some cases where there were no children in the first marriage, and although the expectations were high, they disappeared, but after divorce and remarriage, both the man and the woman wanted to have children.There is another situation, pre-marital examination is considered to be able to have children, but the situation changes after marriage, the possibility of pregnancy will also change, and this change of situation is of course not predictable before marriage.In the case of a married man who cannot hope to have children at all, there are only four possible paths, each of which has its effect on the spiritual life of the person concerned. ①The first path is to frankly accept the situation of not being able to have children.For many instances, this may be the best way to go.Most people, especially most women, would like to have children, but this desire is not necessarily long-term. Not just this end.They will also see that the contemporary world does not in fact suffer from too few people, and that it is irrelevant for a few people not to have children.As their experience increases, they will feel that their profession is enough to worry them or require their full attention, and it seems unreasonable to ask them to take on the responsibility of being a mother, especially on the women's side.What's more, if this kind of maternity task is done well, it is equivalent to a profession that must be maintained for many years, and the bleak management and concentration it requires may be above the general profession.Or maybe this woman's self-examination simply lacks the special ability for motherhood, even if she tries to do it forcefully, it will be laborious and not necessarily flattering.Or maybe both men and women or one of them feels that their genetic temperament is somewhat unhealthy, and it may not be a good thing to not pass this temperament on to the next generation.Fortunately, a large part of parental instincts can be sublimated.It is not difficult for the maternal instinct to take social enterprise as its object.After joining social services, although such a couple is not the physical parents of some children who may not be mature, it is not difficult for them to become the spiritual parents of many other people's children. Above the children, many are called "Buddhas of ten thousand families". Aren't most people often such social elements?In Western society, many women have become famous in this way, created immeasurable merits, and earned the joy of life. ② The second way out is divorce.For those whose children are the first priority of marriage, this may be a reasonable solution to difficulties.However, this is not a very welcome way out.The laws of most countries are very complicated in this regard. It is usually much more difficult to honestly file for divorce on the grounds of infertility, so it is necessary to accommodate the legal provisions without forging reasons.Even if it is difficult, there are still many problems in this way out.Although we agree in principle that divorce should not be difficult, at the same time we can adopt an attitude as much as possible, thinking that this way out should be as rare as possible.A remarriage after a divorce may turn out to be worse than the first marriage.One point about childbearing is perhaps even less sure.At the same time, even if we sympathize with the act of divorce, it is always a confession of failure and an admission of failure.And this failure is very important, because it is the failure of one of the closest relationships in life, and this failure will always fail; and conversely, a marriage, except for the fact that it does not have children, may be a failure. Well, childlessness may be the only fly in the ointment, just for this, even if we examine it with the harshest eyes, how can we conclude that this marriage has failed?People who want to divorce because they can't get out, don't understand this reason, and rashly abandon one thing for another, isn't it a bit foolish?For those who use the reason for divorce as having no children, if we study the truth, there are indeed some problems in temperament that are not compatible with each other.But it happens that I have no children, so I just use it as a more crowning topic.So, for this couple, the problem of childlessness is really just part of a larger problem. ③The third way out is to adopt other people’s children. This is a way out that is easy to think of, and if done well, it is also the best way out, especially because it can obtain strong legal protection at present. The author said that at present, For in England at least the basis of such laws is a recent affair.The adoption of a child, far from breaking up a marriage, may perhaps strengthen it; and with regard to such children, the parents, especially the mother, may make the distinction between paternity and maternity, except for the biological or consanguineous end. My interests and abilities are fully displayed.At the same time, the act of adopting also has a lot of significance in social services. A child from someone else's family may have been ruined, and it will inevitably become a burden and burden on the family and society. From now on, it can have a brighter future and more opportunities for full development. , wouldn't this be better?For many women, even though most of their lives are outside the family, most of their interests are in career and learning. After adopting children, they often seem to be fuller in spirit and happier in life. However, one must be very cautious in adopting children, otherwise it may not be easy to succeed.Not only should the adopted child be young and young, but also the adoption procedures must be clear and clean, and it is best to completely break away from the original parents.The main issue is the health of the children themselves and the innocence of the family.If the parental lineage from which the children come is not fully taken into account, there may be very painful experiences in the future.Families who adopt children should first ask a doctor for help, and find out and carefully consider the origin of the adopted son or daughter before adopting. Otherwise, they should not try it lightly. ④The fourth possible way out is not to seek a union outside of marriage, but to hope to have children from the new union. This is the most difficult way out.Some people sometimes think of this way out, but unless there are very special circumstances, it is not easy to implement it.The biggest difficulty is that such a move must first obtain the consent of the three parties, and it is not easy for the three parties to agree completely. Many scruples.In order to implement this way out and hope that there will be no problems in all aspects, it is extremely difficult to make do with the required conditions, and there is no one in a hundred.So we don't think it's worth discussing. As for persuading others to take this path, it is even more difficult. Everyone also knows that there are two alternatives to this path. The first is absolutely unacceptable, that is, the wife secretly seeks an affair by herself without telling her husband, and counts the children born from this as the children born to her husband.The second is more feasible, which is the method of artificial insemination.But this method also fails, and has many obvious inhumanities.But it can be done, and successful examples can sometimes be encountered.Fan. Germany.Dr. Feld had discussed the technical issues of artificial insemination not long ago. ● Section 7 Impotence and coldness (sexual insufficiency and allergies) The size of sexual drive ability and the age of its onset and decline, and its variation range is very large.In this respect, with the exception of a few higher apes, humans are completely different from other animals below humans. In these animals the sexual drive and the reproductive function are inseparable for a moment, and during periods of barrenness the sexual drive is absent in nine cases out of ten. We have already discussed the physical and psychological manifestations of the sexual drive, which are not uncommon even in normally healthy children.Therefore, its special early presentation, we can not see it as abnormal.As for the sexual life in old age, especially in terms of spirituality, it is difficult to say that there is any definite end.For women, the termination of menstruation does not necessarily represent the decline of impulsiveness, that is, the decline of sexual performance does not necessarily follow menopause, and is often not a parallel phenomenon; Often the libido is still there, and even the sexuality is still intact. The size of performance also varies from person to person, and the range of its variation is not as large as the speed of appearance and the sooner or later of decline. We might as well take the frequency of wet dreams of young men who are as good as jade as a comparison standard; some young men have wet dreams twice or three times a week without causing any serious feeling of fatigue; some only have wet dreams once or twice a month. Some have never had the experience of nocturnal emission.For those who have sexual relations, the frequency of sexual intercourse is also a criterion. For some people, they must have intercourse once a night, and they are used to it for years, and they don't feel any harm. And some can only be done once a month, and he thinks it will be too much after that.In conclusion, the individual variations in performance are very large, that is, among persons of average tolerable health.Therefore, we have no way to set any rules that can be observed together. Complete sexual impotence or lack of performance (sexual anxesthesia, which Ziehen called anhedonia) is extremely rare or unique in men.Sexual hypoxsthesia (or hypedomia), that is, relative atrophy, apathy, and lack of sexual stimulation, is quite common among men, much more common than we sometimes imagine.For some men, the lack of performance is superficial rather than real. The sexual impulse of this kind of man often has some abnormal tendencies, especially a homosexual tendency that is still developing, which inevitably hides the original performance. , so that it is hidden and becomes a part of the subconscious, and its performance in performance appears to be insufficient on the surface, but it may not be the case.There are also many instances where atrophy of function is the result of excessive masturbation, a sign of exhaustion.The third example, insufficient performance is due to being too busy and too tense in other aspects of life, which exhausts the remaining energy in both physical and mental aspects.We also admit, however, that in such cases, part of the lack of performance is an original state of weakness, which has nothing to do with the tension of life.A fourth example, where the lack of performance is due to a state of infantilism, would be a manifestation of stunted development. In a civilized society, because of the stress of life, being overworked, and because of the somewhat unnatural environment in which the sexual drive develops, partial or complete impotence or coldness tends to occur when a man and a woman hand over .In his research, Dr. Hamilton found that only 55% of husbands and 38% of wives considered their own sexuality to be normal. We need to know that these husbands and wives, we need to know, all belong to the so-called upper class in society .In the answers of men and women, although some of them are not very clear, they are not very sure.But in general, regardless of men and women, the proportion of those who admit that their performance is below the level is much higher than that of those who think they are above the level.This is very meaningful, because we usually think that men and women are more likely to exaggerate their sexual abilities than to be modest.The results of Han's investigation are both counterproductive, which proves that either our ordinary views are wrong, or that there are so many men and women with insufficient performance that it cannot be exaggerated, so we have to be humble.It is also worth noting that the number of husbands who think their wives are inadequate is as large as the number of wives who think their husbands are insufficient.Han's also found that 41% of the husbands themselves admitted that they had difficulty in being unable to lift or lift hard when encountering intercourse now or before, while 24% of the wives (not necessarily the wives of the husbands surveyed) ) think that their husbands are lacking in performance.However, the size of the performance is not necessarily the only or even the main key to a successful married life. In Han's research, those husbands and wives who think their performance is below the level, and at the same time admit that their married life is quite satisfactory or very satisfactory, have a higher proportion than those husbands and wives who think their performance is average or high. In fact, this finding is consistent with common experience. Those who view marriage too narrowly, who think that sexual union is the main body of the marriage relationship, and who regard high sexual activity as the main condition for marital happiness, should Keep this in mind.Dr. Dickinson's studies on women's sexuality, though only indirectly related to the husband's sexuality, seem to prove that only 6% of men are impotent. We must remember that for the generation of sexual atrophy, the acquired excessive indulgence and the original lack of performance or sexual weakness all have a share, and the two can even cooperate to cause the result of thinning.This is a very important consideration, because some men’s biggest horror in their married life happens in this aspect. They think that there is a problem with their performance, and they think that there is something wrong with being "not a man". An unwarranted terror hangs over their lives.We say that this is the case in married life, but in fact, outside of married life, or even within the state of marriage, but in fact it has reached the later stage of the state, this kind of terror can still occur. Insufficiency of sexual drive and capacity, from various causes, is more common in men than we sometimes realize.This is a fact, and it is also a fact that there are not a few marriages in which the husband and wife have never enjoyed the joy of bed for this reason.But the existence of this fact has not completely become an obstacle to the happiness of marriage, and the happiness of marriage of such people is not necessarily lower than that of ordinary people.So in fact, the lack of performance is often not a big problem. What is problematic is the lack of performance in imagination.The weakness of performance, the stillness of desire, the so-called "no waves in the ancient well" and other emotional states are what other people can't wish for, but this kind of suspicious person can cause great anxiety, and he always does everything possible. To cure it, he would not hesitate to seek advice from any quack doctor who wandered the rivers and lakes. The quack doctor took advantage of his fearful psychology and profited from it, and he was obsessed with it.He doesn't know that in a tense emotional state temporary loss of performance is easy and irrelevant.For the nervous and inexperienced, such temporary disappearances are all too easy to occur.Montaigne was not a scientific psychologist, but he was right about this. In his essay on the imagination, he said that the disappearance of the faculties itself comes from fear. To: As long as some ingenious methods are used to offset the fear, the original performance can be completely restored. In some cases, however, the lack of performance is built on an acquired habit of the nervous system, which is not easily remedied.Long-term suppression of libido, reticence in masturbation, and excessive copulation are all commonly cited as some of the causes of lack of performance.Another layer is that the living environment in modern civilized society can easily develop a state of general nervous acuity, and the response to general stimuli is often too hasty to act calmly and tactfully. 这在性的方面，就容易使积欲的过程过于缩短，而解欲的过程与亢进的到达过于提早，根本影响到交合的圆满程度。性能的不足或欠缺，这也是一种解释了。 弗洛伊德和其他学者认为男子泄精过早的现象是很普通的，笔者观察也是如此。但洛温费尔德把75％的早泄例子归到手淫上去，笔者却不敢赞同。在部分例子里，手淫无疑是早泄的一个因素，但我们知道，极端的手淫癖习有时也可以对性能不发生任何严重的影响。无论如何，手淫的习惯既如此普遍，我们要拿它来解释任何变态或病态的现象时，总需特别小心，一定要证据确凿，原委分明，才可以咬定它是一个因素，否则总有几分捕风捉影。如今我们讨论到性能不足，当然也得注意到这，而不便信口轻作结论。或许就通常的情形而言，我们一定得把神经衰弱性的性能痿缩看作近代的一种一般倾向的特殊表现。什么倾向呢？就是在忙乱的都市生活里，一切反应不免失诸过于急促、过于锐敏（即如果女人怀孕以后，不足月便分娩的现象也未始不是此种一般倾向的一个特殊表现）。同时，我们也不得不把神经衰弱性的性能痿缩看作长期忍欲的结果。青年的结婚年龄推迟以后，自春机萌发以至成年，这许多年以内的性欲是无法满足的，虽有手淫一类的解欲的出路，但往往因积欲太久，其满足的程度也自有限。这时期以内的性欲，既有积而不解的一般倾向，而虽解又每患不尽，影响所及，对于解欲过程的循环机构，不免引起几分损坏。有内外两个原因，于是神经衰弱性的性能痿缩便很难避免了。 就多数例子而言，性能痿缩只是一种相对的或比较的亏损，而不是绝对失其效用。阴茎的勃起多少也总还完全，射精的作用也照样发生，遗憾的是发生得大快了些。在当事人本身也许并不感到这其间对人对己有什么问题。不过在我们看来，近代女人方面的性能痿缩，或所谓阴冷，无疑要间接归到这种男人性能的缺陷上去。 但如果因气质的实际衰弱，或因一时精神刺激的关系，引起了比较绝对的性能痿缩，当事人在心理上往往可以发生很大的忧惧。在这种忧惧心理下，他会一天到晚揣摩着自己的性能力，不断地想把它激发起来，如果他还没有结婚，也许再三地想寻花问柳，为的是要测验他的性能有无进步，但结果总是失望。
