Fantasia of the Unconscious

CHAPTER IX
45/49

You came out of mother's inside, etc., etc." But I suppose there's really nothing else to be done, given the world and society as we've got them now.

The mother is doing her best.
But it is all wrong.

It is wrong to make sex appear as if it were part of the dear-darling-love smarm: the spiritual love.

It is even worse to take the scientific test-tube line.

It all kills the great effective dynamism of life, and substitutes the mere ash of mental ideas and tricks.
The scientific fact of sex is no more sex than a skeleton is a man.
Yet you'd think twice before you stock a skeleton in front of a lad and said, "You see, my boy, this is what you are when you come to know yourself."-- And the ideal, lovey-dovey "explanation" of sex as something wonderful and extra lovey-dovey, a bill-and-coo process of obtaining a sweet little baby--or else "God made us so that we must do this, to bring another dear little baby to life"-- well, it just makes one sick.
