Defoe, Daniel. Conjugal Lewdness. Florida: Scholars’ Facsimiles & Reprints, 1927. Print.
The book is written give advice to marriages both those who already have one and those who are going to be marrying. For those who are already married the book outlines how to stay chaste and modest in relationship. It also warns men against cheating on their wives or being abusive in the treatment of women. Child bearing should not be prevented also the book holds a reform view that enforces the negative aspects of arranged marriages. Instead of arranged marriage you should have love and friendship with the person you are planning to marry. Also disproportionate marriages are a very bad idea, especially those in age, as this encourages infidelity. Over all if you’re looking for a book that chastises men this may be a good place to look.
