"It is the old case of a rider and the horse. It is a wonderful feeling to be mounted on a high- spirited animal and have a good gallop. It is most dangerous to be mounted on one over which you have barely any control. Of all the many things people seem to have lost control over today, nothing stands out so sharply as their complete lack of command of their sex life. They seem to think that the gratification of their extremely over- developed sex instinct is their sovereign right, their one road to happiness, and the greatest pleasure life can afford them. Everything about Western civilization tends to put sex in the limelight:... The slogan appears to be, 'you were born to seek satisfaction in sex, this is your basic freedom, go to it, ' and people, unquestionably, seem to accept this devastating advice; and the result is disease, depravity and divorce, on an ever- increasing scale." (Pres for Liv 54- 5) (64:6)
