McCary Relates: “What I Told My
Daughter About Pre-Marital Sex
_ . . PH wanf h^r tn lindp.rStAI

Reprinted from the Houston
Post, Sunday, Sept. 10, 1967.
As a part of the course in
Marriage and Family Life which
Dr. McCary teaches at the Un-
iversity of Houston, students are
encouraged to ask questions. A
question which always comes
up is “What would you tell your
daughter about pre-marital
sex?” One time his answer was
recorded. It appears in his book.
A shortened version of it follows:
This question about one’s
daughter, I tell my students, is
often received by psychologists
techniques are so she might avoid
their use in many situations, but,
also, so she could make use of
them in appropriate situations.
I FURTHERMORE would wish
that the father should not make
certain demands and present one
set of ideas (about sex) while
the mother makes di
the mother makes different de-
mands and presents a different
set of ideas.
SEXUAL FASCISTS
Inconsistency can only produce
confusion and insecurity within
the child. The home should be
oiien receiveu vy cue tmiu,
who talk on problems of sex. Most somewhat consistent with the out-
often it is meant to embarrass
the psychologist, the questioner
assuming that he might make cer-
tain liberal statements about sex-
ual matters to the public, but
when it comes to his own daugh-
ter, he will forget his academic
views and become as rigid, as
demanding, as moralistic as the
next father.
THIS QUESTION cannot be an-
swered with one short statement
because a whole lifetime of liv-
ing sets the stage for the an-
swer.
I will assume you mean
a daughter who is roughly coll-
ege-level. If the parents are
well adjusted in the area of sex,
if they have a healthy attitude
toward sex, then the children,
also, will likely have a healthy
attitude toward sex.
If the parents have an
unhealthy attitude toward sex, if
they are filled with guilt and re-
pressions in this area, then their
children are also likely to learn
the same disturbed attitude.
I WOULD WANT MY daugh-
ter to know the biological and
physiological sexual structures
of the male and of the female.
I’d want her to know their psy-
chological makeup. I’d want her
to know that males, for example,
are made more easily sexually
excited then are females and
are made easily excited by diff-
erent methods and different tech-
niques than are females.
I’d want her to know what these
side world. Now, this certainly
cannot always be done in sex-
ual matters because society is
too varied in the demands it
makes.
Therefore, I would want my
daughter to understand that there
will be some inconsistencies in
society’s expectations with what
she is taught in our home, and
that she must understand what
it is that society expects and de-
mands.
SHE MUST UNDERSTAND the
attitudes of bigots, the people
whom Dr. Silbert Ellis has called
the sexual fascists; she must
understand that these people are
ready to condemn and even per-
secute those who do not follow
to the letter their unbending
ideas.
I would want her to know that
masturbation and petting are per-
fectly normal modes of behavior
which can and will satisfy sex-
ual urges and which at the same
time do not carry with them some
of the same problems that are
found resulting from sexual
intercourse.
I WOULD WANT my daugh-
ter- - and my son, too, for that
matter - to be fair and ethical
in all relationships, including
sex, to understand that, when her
behavior in any way harms an-
other person or harms herself,
that this is behavior which should
be reconsidered because it is of-
ten times behavior which is truly
evil.
NOT IN TEENS
I’d want her to understand that
sex is a game for many boys
and young-men, an ego boost
for boys and for men who feel
sexually inferior. She must
understand that this is their prob-
lem and deal with it according-
ly.
I’D WANT HER to under-
stand the views of various re-
ligions and to understand how
the unwise use of some of the
ideas and ideals from these re-
ligions can produce guilt and
repressions.
I’d further more want her to
understand guilt and repression,
and if she avoids sex to do so
because of rational factors
and not guilt, because guilt in
this area, as well as in others,
leads to many problems, and sex-
ual conflicts resulting from guilt
can be devastating.
If she still decided on sexual
intercourse, then I would want
her to certainly know about and
have access to contraceptive de-
vices.
I’D WANT HER to know that,
basically, I think one is
usually significantly better off
if she avoids premarital sex-
ual intercourse, especially if in
the teens.
BUT if she makes the other
decision, I would want her to
know that, while I might think
she has made a foolish mistake,
no matter what she does along
these lines, so long as she does
not hurt herself or others, I
am with her and my respect and
love will not change.
These are the principles in
which I believe and are the ones
by which I raised my daughter,
who is now happily married. I
do not know whether or not she
had premarital sexual inter-
course—and frankly, I couldn’t
care less; I respect her and love
her too much even to question
her, although I could ask and
she could answer without em-
barrassment to either of us.
Dr. James McCary, professor of Psychology at the
University of Houston, will be the feature speaker
during this year’s Religious Emphasis Week. He is
scheduled to speak on the topic of sex education.

Two debate teams from Texas
Lutheran College are entered in
the AH-Texas Debate Tourna-
ment held March 21-22 in Austin,
According to Debate Coach Ro-
bert Lehmann nearly every sen-
ion college and university in Tex-
as is entered in the tourney.
Only two teams from each in-
stitution can compete.
Stephen Zimmerman (Clifton)
and Charles Kneupper (San An-
tonio) will debate in the senior
Cuts Due In Federal
Student Loan Program
(ACP) --Federalcontributions
to the National Defense Student
Loan program will drop for the
first time since the program was
started 10 years ago if Congress
adopts the proposed budget for
next year.
The budget for fiscal 1970 would
provide about $31.5 million less
money for 44,000 newer loans
than in the current year.
Reduction of budget obligations
for the National Defense loans
from $193.4 million this year
to $161.9 million in 1970 is anti-
cipated.
The number of students receiv-
ing the loans would diop from
aao enn +n 8Q8 nftft
division while Daryl Koenig
(Kingsville) and Linda Streit
(Midland) are entered in the jun-
ior division.
The debate squad heads into
the “All-Texas” Tourney, which
incidentally is the final tourna-
ment of the year for the TLC
debaters, with an even record of
16 wins and 16 losses. The squad
hopes to end the season with a
strong showing, but they will be
facing keen competition from
such schools as Rice University,
Houston Baptist, and the Univ-
ersity of Houston.
Coach Lehmann also said that
TLC is entered in the Ozark
Spring Interpretation Festival at
Southwest Mission State College
May 1-3.
At the Springfield Meet the
TLC squad members are
scheduled to enter competition
in Reader’s Theater, Poetry In-
terpretation, Prose Interpret-
ation and Drama Interpretation.
