"Modern industrial and housing conditions, the lust cities, and above all the organization of vice on a commercial scale so as to get dividends out of it—all these factors go to accentuate the sex stimulus in the Western countries beyond anything known here.
The opportunities for pre-marital and extramarital sex indulgence in India are comparatively very rare. Too-early marriage may be unknown in the West, but not so too-early experience in India child marriage seldom means consummation in childhood, while it also effectively excludes pre-marital indulgence. In the West, on the other hand, rightly or wrongly, radical sex thinkers now not only permit, but even command, some pre-marital experience. The custom, however, of ‘ free marriage unions’ is not confined to the radicals. These unions, says Havelock Ellis,149 seem ‘to be fairly common in many, or perhaps all, rural parts of England,’ ‘In some countries,’ the same writer continues, ‘ it is said to be almost a universal practice for the women to have sexual relationship before legal marriage; sometimes she marries the first man whom she tries; sometimes she tries several before finding the man who suits her…. Thus in some parts of Staffordshire it is the custom of women to have a child before marriage,’ ‘ In Sweden,’ Ellis states on the population begin married life in this way.’ The arrangement, we are told, is found to be beneficial, and ‘marital fidelity is as great as pre-marital freedom is unbounded.’ ‘In Denmark, also, a large number of children are conceived before the unions of the parents are legalized."
