520 _a"Sex and Common-Sense" by A. Maude Royden is a thoughtful treatise on human sexuality and morality, written during the early 20th century. The author explores the complexities of sexual relationships, particularly focusing on the societal pressures surrounding them and the need for a reevaluation of moral standards. Royden emphasizes the inherent nobility of the sexual instinct and argues against the stigma often attached to discussions of sex, advocating for a more open and compassionate understanding of sexuality. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the sex problem exacerbated by the aftermath of war, highlighting the significant imbalance in the number of women compared to men. Royden discusses the burdens this places on women, particularly regarding societal expectations of celibacy, and challenges the traditional views on morality that often overlook the sexual needs and rights of women. Through her addresses, she aims to shift the conversation around sex from a topic of shame and guilt to one of dignity and understanding, positing that a robust moral framework must account for and celebrate the complexities of human nature rather than suppress them.
