o the sensitive young woman who has had the benefits of proper
upbringing, the wedding day is, ironically, both the happiest and most
terrifying day of her life. On the positive side, there is the wedding
itself, in which the bride is the central attraction in a beautiful and
inspiring ceremony, symbolizing her triumph in securing a male to provide
for all her needs for the rest of her life. On the negative side, there is
the wedding night, during which the bride must pay the piper, so to speak,
by facing for the first time the terrible experience of sex.
t this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth.Some
young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity
and pleasure! Beware such an attitude! A selfish and sensual husband can
easily take advantage of such a bride. One cardinal rule of marriage
should never be forgotten: GIVE LITTLE, GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL, GIVE
GRUDGINGLY. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become
an orgy of sexual lust.
n the other hand, the bride's terror need not be extreme. While
sex is at best revolting and at worse rather painful, it has to be
endured, and has been by women since the beginning of time, and is
compensated for by the monogamous home and by the children produced
through it. It is useless, in most cases, for the bride to prevail upon
the groom to forego the sexual initiation. While the ideal husband would
be one who would approach his bride only at her request and only for the
purpose of begetting offspring, such nobility and unselfishness cannot be
expected from the average man.
ost men, if not denied, would demand sex almost every day. The
wise bride will permit a maximum of two brief sexual experiences weekly
during the first months of marriage. As time goes by she should make every
effort to reduce this frequency.
eigned illness, sleepiness, and headaches are among the wife's
best friends in this matter. Arguments, nagging, scolding, and bickering
also prove very effective, if used in the late evening about an hour
before the husband would normally commence his seduction.
lever wives are ever on the alert for new and better methods of
denying and discouraging the amorous overtures of the husband. A good wife
should expect to have reduced sexual contacts to once a week by the end of
the first year of marriage and to once a month by the end of the fifth
year of marriage.

y their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete
their child bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all
sexual contacts with the husband. By this time she can depend upon his
love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the
home. Just as she should be ever alert to keep the quantity of sex as low
as possible, the wise bride will pay equal attention to limiting the kind
and degree of sexual contacts. Most men are by nature rather perverted,
and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety of the most
revolting practices. These practices include among others performing the
normal act in abnormal positions; mouthing the female body; and offering
their own vile bodies to be mouthed in turn.
udity, talking about sex, reading stories about sex, viewing
photographs and drawings depicting or suggesting sex are the obnoxious
habits the male is likely to acquire if permitted.
wise bride will make it the goal never to allow her husband to
see her unclothed body, and never allow him to display his unclothed body
to her. Sex, when it cannot be prevented, should be practiced only in
total darkness. Many women have found it useful to have thick cotton
nightgowns for themselves and pajamas for their husbands. These should be
donned in separate rooms. They need not be removed during the sex act.
Thus, a minimum of flesh is exposed.
nce the bride has donned her gown and turned off all the lights,
she should lie quietly upon the bed and await her groom. When he comes
groping into the room she should make no sound to guide him in her
direction, lest he take this as a sign of encouragement. She should let
him grope in the dark. There is always the hope that he will stumble and
incur some slight injury which she can use as an excuse to deny him sexual
access.
hen he finds her, the wife should lie as still as possible.
Bodily motion on her part could be interpreted as sexual excitement by the
optimistic husband.
f he attempts to kiss her on the lips she should turn her head
slightly so that the kiss falls harmlessly on her cheek instead. If he
attempts to kiss her hand, she should make a fist. If he lifts her gown
and attempts to kiss her anyplace else she should quickly pull the gown
back in place, spring from the bed, and announce that nature calls her to
the toilet. This will generally dampen his desire to kiss in the forbidden
territory.
f the husband attempts to seduce her with lascivious talk, the
wise wife will suddenly remember some trivial non-sexual question to ask
him. Once he answers she should keep the conversation going, no matter how
frivolous it may seem at the time.
ventually, the husband will learn that if he insists on having
sexual contact, he must get on with it without amorous embellishment. The
wise wife will allow him to pull the gown up no farther than the waist,
and only permit him to open the front of his pajamas to thus make
connection.
he should be absolutely silent or babble about her housework
while he is huffing and puffing away. Above all, she should lie perfectly
still and never under any circumstances grunt or groan while the act is in
progress. As soon as the husband has completed the act, the wise wife will
start nagging him about various minor tasks she wishes him to perform on
the morrow. Many men obtain a major portion of their sexual satisfaction
from the peaceful exhaustion immediately after the act is over. Thus the
wife must insure that there is no peace in this period for him to enjoy.
Otherwise, he might be encouraged to soon try for more.
ne heartening factor for which the wife can be grateful is the
fact that the husband's home, school, church, and social environment have
been working together all through his life to instill in him a deep sense
of guilt in regards to his sexual feelings, so that he comes to the
marriage couch apologetically and filled with shame, already half cowed
and subdued. The wise wife seizes upon this advantage and relentlessly
pursues her goal first to limit, later to annihilate completely her
husband's desire for sexual expression.
