- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Published relatively late in his career, this collection of essays hits on some of the same themes of his longer, earlier works: the positive moral value of sexual pleasure; the social and biological reasons for marriage; the benefits of understanding human sexuality from a modern, scientific perspective. Some of the most compelling passages in the essays occur in Ellis' discussion of marriage; these combine a romantic Victorian conception of the moral uplift resulting from marriage with an appreciation for sexual satisfaction.The last of the essays in this collection addresses eugenics. This makes for uncomfortable reading now, knowing the 20th century horrors to which doctrines of eugenics gave rise (genocide, forced sterilization). He certainly suggests support for the latter: 'A regard to nurture has ...wisely suggested to us the desirability of segregating or even of sterilising the unfit' (p.132). If you can see past (without excusing) that discussion, Ellis has some interesting and prescient things to say about the relationship between birth control and lifting people out of poverty. In particular, he offers the insight that in the most developed societies, the decline in the birthrate has been offset with a decline in the death rate, leading to an overall population growth, even as couples began reproducing later or chose to have fewer children.
