FAMILY LIMITATION 15 9. Does fear of pregnancy affect the child? Fear affects everything. We do not yet know the effect upon the human race which the fear of pregnancy has caused. 10. Is it harmful to take drugs during the first few weeks after menstruation has stopped? It is considered especially harmful, not only to the mother, but to the child in cases where the drugs have not the desired effect. It stands to reason that a drug which is powerful enough to eject the fertilized ovum out of the uterus must have power to affect other organs. We often find children wetting the bed up to a late age, as well as suffering from other organic weaknesses, which may be traced back to the mother's frantic attempt to "come around." 11. Should the woman or the man take the precautions? Either or both, but preferably the woman. The methods to be used by the man — withdrawal and the condom — have their objections for many people. While it is true that the employment of either of these methods lessen the trouble for the woman, they also deprive her of that great sacred closeness or spiritual union which the full play of magnetism gives when not checked by fear, as in withdrawal, or interfered with, as in the use of the condom. Some sensitive men object to the use of these methods as also do many women. It is for each couple to decide. Many men prefer to use the condom in consideration of the woman, to lessen her trouble in douching. 12. Should a woman have joy in the union? Yes. 13. Why does she not? Either because her mind is occupied with fear of the results, or because of the awkwardness and ignorance of the man. 14. Can this be overcome? Yes; first, by using a contraceptive which gives confidence so there shall be freedom from fear of pregnancy; second, by making the husband understand that a greater love and joy is created in the relation when the union is consummated only when the woman desires it naturally.
