(Shere Hite) Women don’t seem to look at men as people, women look at&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I for one am heartily sick of reading what men have to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) In other words, women really loved the feelings of arousal and being&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I never needed to fake &#8211; no man noticed I didn’t come.

(Shere Hite) The next time you are aroused, notice how swollen your vulva and&#8230;
