Alfism & Dianism pg. 48
Raw
gistfile1.txt
The doctrin of Alfism is confined to one prin- cipl, the law of " Continence except for procreation.”
Thoze who beleev in this doctrin may be divided into diferent classes. Sum beleev in it as a matter of duty, t o be enforced by precept and self-denial ; sum beleev in it as <a matter of riht, requiring no self denial. In this latter is included the doctrin of Diana, which may be defined to be the law of Sexual satisfaction from sexual contact.
In uther wurds, Dianism is Alfism as the rezult of sexual equilibration. This doctrin is founded upon the theory of dual functions; but that theory is not an esential part of it.
Any person who carries out the principl of continence except for procreation, whatever his motivs or ideas collected with it, is a practical Alf- ite. And any Alfite who seeks sexual companionship of greater or less intimacy, for the purpose of sexual equilibration as an aid to continence, is a practical Dianite.
