§ 100
A technique of the love episode has been described and advocated under several names (Karezza, Male Continence, Dr. Zugassent’s Discovery, etc.) which consists in that degree of virile control whereby, while the erotic acme may be produced in the wife, the husband reserves his. There is no doubt whatever that this technique is of greatest possible advantage to the wife, if she herself reaches the acme. Opinions differ as to its possible harm for the husband. It was the principle which the Oneida Community (organized in 1847 and discontinued as a eugenic experiment in 1879) followed for the 30 years of its existence with no observable injury to the men. It is also spontaneously discovered and sporadically used by married couples at the present day independently of the propaganda in its favour, conducted by a woman writer who has published the book Karezza.[19]
There is also no doubt whatever that only a comparatively few men are willing, and some fewer are quite unable to control themselves to this degree necessary to postpone their own erotic acme until a future time. The ability to do this is the most potent factor possible in producing that superiority of virile over feminine power which forms the greatest fusing medium between the two partners.
