Summary "Plain Talks on Avoided Subjects" by Henry N. Guernsey is a health and wellness guide written in the late 19th century. This work discusses sensitive topics surrounding human sexuality, reproduction, and moral conduct, particularly aimed at educating both laypeople and medical professionals about the importance of sexual health and the dangers of ignorance on these issues. Guernsey draws from his extensive experience in medicine to promote a message of understanding and proper behavior regarding sexual relations, emphasizing the principles of chastity and hygiene. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to address topics often deemed discomforting or taboo, particularly concerning the sexual education of youth. Guernsey reflects on the common reluctance of parents to educate their children about such matters, leading to harmful ignorance and potential moral decline. Through detailed discussions on the physical development of humans and the implications of sexual behavior, he aims to provide a comprehensive guide to promote chastity and proper conduct from infancy through adulthood, ultimately fostering healthier individuals and families.
