Summary

"Sexual Ethics" by Auguste Forel is a book that questions the traditional views on sex and morals, offering a rational look at sexual behavior hoping to boost human well-being. It looks at the difference between sex and morality, claiming that sexual actions shouldn't automatically be labeled good or bad. A big part of the book covers how sex ethics relates to improving future generations, in addition to the examination of customs like marriage and prostitution, and the idea of having children responsibly. Forel pushes for teaching people about sex health to stop diseases and mental problems, and wants society to move towards respect and responsibility in sexual relationships, aiming to create new morals that value the overall health and happiness of both people and society.
