Foster Gives Last Of Series
Society places taboos and "puritanical" background first, yet "every human group is faced with the fact of bi-sexuality," says Dr. Robert G. Foster.
This was the third and last of series of youth and marriage lectures presented by Dr. Foster, visiting professor of marriage and family relations.
He said that reproduction is a "part of the basis of life," but "culture must formulate certain rules and restrictions or morals concerning this."
Dr. Foster discussed traits of the stages from infancy to maturity, emphasizing normal sex education.
We need more adult education for
and young children." Dr. Frost said,
"A successful marriage requires a normal sex education," he declared.
"Our first mistake is the indocriation and use of the hush-hush method of introducing children to the realities of life," he concluded.
