(Shere Hite) The reason for the importance (during masturbation) of different leg positions to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Position of woman on top. There isn’t anything that automatically makes this&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Most men either take it for granted that you have one, or&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Of course, the thirty percent of women who said they could orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Fellatio is okay but my mouth gets tired of being stretched open.

(Shere Hite) We love each other very much &#8230; But when we have intercourse&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The pill itself did not bring about ‘sexual freedom’ &#8230; but merely&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I really enjoy it (touching and affection), but I find that some&#8230;

(Shere Hite) ‘Dick Power’ &#8211; the penis decides when it’s over.

(Shere Hite) &#8230; masturbation increases your ability to orgasm in general, and also your&#8230;

(Shere Hite) This officially promoted focus on reproductive activities &#8230; was important for the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I feel very strongly that sexual education for women will be one&#8230;

(Shere Hite) During sex, I (male) can express the feelings I have for another&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; supposedly women are less interested in sex and orgasms than men,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) My feeling is that I would consider sucking a cock with a&#8230;

(Shere Hite) If we make it easy and pleasurable for men to have an&#8230;

(Shere Hite) It is not the fact that women do not like intercourse &#8230;&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I used to (fake), because my partner was comparing me to another&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Frequently, yes (I fake orgasm). To get the social obligation over with&#8230;

(Shere Hite) At times, I would fake them and get so involved I could&#8230;

(Shere Hite) All too many men still seem to believe, in a rather naïve&#8230;

(Shere Hite) It’s over after his orgasm. Isn’t that the natural end of sex?

(Shere Hite) &#8230; if you pull any skin around the area it can stimulate&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Staggeringly uniformed. The more confident they (men) are of their sexual prowess&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I’ve learned that unless a female wants sex, it is wise not&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Men are uninformed. They must all read the same book. Of course,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There are times when I feel I’m discharging an obligation, like washing&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I wish I could be told sometimes in the middle of the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Orgasm is important, but not as important has he thinks: my orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Maybe having sex with someone I knew well and deeply cared about&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Most researchers and sex therapists agree that thrusting is less efficient in&#8230;

(Shere Hite) However, the full spectrum of physical contact is enjoyed by the other&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I feel a little incapable not being able to make her orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) When I’m inside her, simple things like her arms wrapped tightly around&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Touching is the most important part of sex, part of a natural&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The light touch is better than the gorilla approach.

(Shere Hite) Touching is as important or more, to me, than having sex, and&#8230;

(Shere Hite) They (mammals) also masturbate and have homosexual relations quite commonly.

(Shere Hite) I think our culture has made sex overimportant.

(Shere Hite) In patriarchal society, the, intercourse for a man has the whole force&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The importance of masturbation for me is that it’s my only source&#8230;

(Shere Hite) With my boyfriend of four years, we pretty much stopped fucking, because&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Wow &#8211; let’s let women tell it like it is, instead of&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sex itself is not terribly important to me, but physical contact in&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There is no great mystery about why a woman has an orgasm&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) It is not female sexuality that has a problem (‘dysfunction’) but society&#8230;

(Shere Hite) General body touching is more important to me than orgasm.

(Shere Hite) He thinks if I don’t have an orgasm, he has failed me,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) For a long time I didn’t know if I was having them&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The descriptions of arousal &#8230; are very similar to these descriptions of&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The greatest thing is the security I feel when I’m in bed&#8230;

(Shere Hite) It seems that women have only recently discovered the nature and depth&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The definition of male sexuality as being ‘instinctively’ drawn to heterosexual intercourse&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Many men feel they can never be sure that a woman loves&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Men have been raised in an environment where sex is seen as&#8230;

(Shere Hite) In general, then, vaginal penetration or the presence of a penis seems&#8230;

(Shere Hite) My sexuality has more to do with the desire than with satisfaction&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) This is my first sexual relationship. I am eighteen &#8211; almost nineteen&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) Among most species of mammals there is, in actuality, a great deal&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There is great pressure on women in our society now to say&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The fact is, we usually cooperate quite extensively during intercourse in order&#8230;

(Shere Hite) From my experience as a minister listening to married women describe their&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I have never failed a woman yet to achieve orgasm.

(Shere Hite) Judging from the rapturous descriptions of feelings during arousal, its pleasures would&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; the information he has been given &#8211; that thrusting during intercourse&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There are many myths about what men and women want and enjoy&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) I like intercourse because it is a time when I get his&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Indeed most men had experienced difficulty having an erection at some time&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Female sexuality has been seen essentially as a response to male sexuality&#8230;

(Shere Hite) In summary, since intercourse has been defined as the basic form of&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; the different position and the closeness of the partner prevent a&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The truth is that ‘sex’ is bigger than orgasm, and involves any&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I would like to have orgasms during intercourse without having to play&#8230;

(Shere Hite) To masturbate, fantasizing, or getting into an aroused state mentally is important&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) Men were mostly concerned with their own pleasure rather than mine. I&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; the emphasis on the mechanical and technical aspects of intercourse &#8230;&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Has orgasm regularly from intercourse 30%; Has orgasm rarely from intercourse 22%;&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I would not have answered honestly without anonymity &#8230;

(Shere Hite) I faked orgasms continuously through my marriage, but I didn’t do that&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Of all the women who described how they masturbated, only 1.5 percent&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Masturbation by men is usually to check if I’m wet.

(Shere Hite) It’s an unspoken code of behavior among men not to show that&#8230;

(Shere Hite) My husband doesn’t seem to enjoy anything besides intercourse, and that very&#8230;

(Shere Hite) How would a man feel if he made love and never achieved&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There is a great deal of confusion here on the part of&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Oral stimulation is best, mainly because most men do not have a&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Probably millions of women could agree with one woman who wrote, “It&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I fake orgasm to save his pride and prevent arguments.

(Shere Hite) With my husband, physical touching always leads to sex, which inhibits me&#8230;

(Shere Hite) In a very real sense, relationships between men are “what matters” to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sometimes emotional orgasm was felt as the desire to conceive, to be&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; intercourse is the ultimate experience. It doesn’t feel that good for&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; orgasm is most likely to come when the woman takes over&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The overwhelming majority of women answered that sex meant a great deal&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The reproductive model of sex has traditionally included just enough clitoral stimulation&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Most women do not orgasm as a result of intercourse per se&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) The most obvious form of economic intimidation occurs when a woman is&#8230;
