Blank No. 15 Series II Form B. 6

12 - What knowlege of sexual physiology had you before marriage?
b) how did you obtain it? At 12 years my mother told me the facts about
menstruation, and the physiology of childbirth. I knew nothing of sexual
connection until I was perhaps 16 or 18 when I read about it in the
the text books to which we were referred when we studied physiology. A
few months before my marriage a wise woman friend told me about the
various ways of "regulating conception" in use, theories concerning the
sexual relations, etc., and referred me to one or two books on the sub-
ject. These books I read before I was married.
