To our third question, even he who admits the injurious results thus attributable to civilized sexual morality may reply that the cultural gain derived from the sexual restraint so generally practised probably more than balances these evils, which after alt, in their more striking manifestations, affect only a minority. I own myself unable to balance gain and loss precisely: nevert heless I could advance a good many considerati-ons as regards the loss. Returning to the theme of abstinence, already touched on, I must insist that yet other injurious effects besides the neuroses result therefrom, and that the neuroses themsel-ves are not usually appraised at their full signifi-cance.
