He wrote a book entitled ''[[The Great Unmarried]]'' that examined the causes of celibacy, including [[involuntary celibacy]]. In it, he portrayed "involuntary celibacy" as a issue facing men of the professional classes in the era due to heightened competition in those fields and a high cost of living, but he viewed the phenomena as chiefly affecting what he describes as a "vast number of involuntarily celibate women doomed to a lonely, loveless existence and the negation of the right to motherhood". He also claims in the book that the majority of soldiers were involuntary celibates. | He wrote a book entitled ''[[The Great Unmarried]]'' that examined the causes of celibacy, including [[involuntary celibacy]].
