Scope and content
"Sex facts for young boys" by S. Dana Hubbard. This publication covers famous American men and how to be like them, clearing up misinformation about sex, how to protect the honour of girls, and willpower and physical fitness.
Topics covered include how to comport oneself, the importance of health and fitness, the value of keeping a diary, the four lies of sex which include: that sexual indulgence is necessary for the preservation of health; that Gonorrhea is no worse than a cold; that night emissions are dangerous and lead to debility, lost manhood, and to insanity; the double standard of morality - that men must exercise their sexual organs to have health and that women should not do so.
