i'll look for it.Franklin:
Most of the book is detailed case studies of each tribe which isn't that interesting but is hard evidence. Probably the most interesting part of the book is the historical part which starts on page 368 by discussing Christian marriage.
i appreciate your observation. i have wondered about older books being destroyed to be replaced by newer publications, or not replaced, at all.Franklin:
And of course a study like this must be old since academia is no longer interested in truth.
folks might want to keep an eye on their local libraries.
nearby, we experienced a big scandal when it was discovered a librarian took it upon herself to rid the shelves of thousands+thousands of books .. one library worker spoke up, but thousands of books were lost before it was stopped. not long after, i read similar happened in another state.

i do not see these as mutually exclusive.Franklin:
People often blame birth control for modern promiscuity but in fact the same promiscuity can be found in most decaying cultures in history. They used more primitive birth control or abortion or just had children outside of marriage.
in my own life, i saw a rapid change from widespread value of chastity before marriage to "free love," "living together," etc., within a short period, possibly less than 5 years.
at the same time, i recognize your point about the correlation between promiscuity and decaying cultures.
yes. when i was young, and began getting some vague messages like, "boys will be boys," i certainly was puzzled about the math therein.Franklin:
I am not aware of male chastity being part of cultures other than Christian and Muslim. There is no mention of it in the Old Testament. Most successful cultures used prostitution as a means of allowing male promiscuity while preserving female chastity.
in my girls separate from boys public school jr high health class, sex ed not on the radar, we were introduced to notions of using deoderants, and, possibly, shaving our legs.
that was intimate-enough! i have no idea what the boys were told.
it was a different culture .. not long ago.
