    About this ebook

    As one can guess from the title, the following is supposed to be a sex education book. However, some of the beliefs and advice that are espoused are quite conservative and strict. It included erroneous advice, such as the belief that male masturbation leads to epilepsy. Although the message in this book is no longer valid, it provides a glimpse into the dominant Puritan beliefs that were present in U.S. society at the time.

      Evolution Is Really Not That Into Sex

      May 16, 2019

      What is sex for? When I regularly queried students at the beginning of my course in evolutionary biology, most responded that it was for reproducing. Reasonable enough, but wrong. In fact, lots of living things reproduce without sex: Asexual reproduc
