When the soul declines, then sex is filth and filth is sex, and the slightest sexual contact with a woman becomes a testimony of her filth. This state of the simple, vulgar man called the crowd who raises his voice is the source of all pornography.

Sex must be channeled somewhere, especially when it comes to youth. In our marvelous culture, it is funneled into masturbation. And the self-isolation of masturbation produces fools.

(D. H. Lawrence [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition])
