With unusual content: The author criticizes parents who fail to chastise their children for engaging in sexual self-stimulation. He admonishes: “it is quite indecent - like playing with a cat...Should parents not impress upon their children how serious is this transgression, youngsters will be led to believe their behavior is only impolite rather than utterly forbidden.” (see f. 18b)
