The Sexual Instinct: Its Use And Dangers As Affecting Heredity And Morals: Essentials To The Welfare Of The Individual And The Future Of The Race by James Foster Scott surveys the science and ethics of human sexuality. The work, published in 1899, presents a comprehensive, polemical treatise on the sexual instinct as a driving force in self-preservation and heredity, advocating self-restraint and chastity as foundations for individual health and racial wellbeing. It discusses the stages of life from puberty onward, the differences between the sexes, and the ethical responsibilities of fathers and mothers. The book analyzes the dangers of impurity, prostitution, venereal diseases (gonorrhea, syphilis), abortion, and moral perversion, arguing that education, prophylaxis, and a reformed public morality are essential to prevent societal decay. It is both medical and moral in tone, aiming to inform lay readers with plain language about physical facts and their ethical implications.
