(Shere Hite) But as time passed, her devotion to me (her male partner) evolved&#8230;

(Shere Hite) In fact, even women who did orgasm during intercourse most frequently gave&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Men see other men as the arbiters of what is real, the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I can’t say I liked answering these questions, I would die of&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Only approximately 30 percent of the women in this study could orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The idea that if we would ‘just relax and let go’ during&#8230;

(Shere Hite) At this point in my life, it’s just not really important, and&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sometimes I like fellatio although I’m not wild about swallowing semen &#8230;

(Shere Hite) Unfortunately, the idea that sex is necessary for health has become big&#8230;

(Shere Hite) To consider all non-reproductive sexual contact ‘an error of nature’ is a&#8230;

(Shere Hite) However, since female orgasm is not necessary during intercourse for reproduction to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sex with a woman for me (as a woman) has involved kissing,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Freud was the founding father of vaginal orgasm. He theorized that the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) There is nothing wrong with saying that the movement of the clitoral&#8230;

(Shere Hite) We have had lots of sex without me orgasming &#8211; sometimes it’s&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; there was no correlation with frequency of orgasm: women who did&#8230;

(Shere Hite) It does make me feel strange, that after all the stimulation I&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sometimes it builds a man’s ego to let him think he’s successful&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) Women don’t realize that men do all the work, are expected to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Of course, masturbating to orgasm does not automatically enable you to orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I like to prolong my states of arousal until the desire for&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I love physical affection and touching but find that this inevitably leads&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Probably, in many cases, no regular orgasm has occurred; perhaps at other&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The most frequent reason men gave for having sex outside their marriages&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Most (men) were speed demons.

(Shere Hite) The penis &#8230; has two roots known as crura which play an&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I haven’t gotten away from the feeling that I’m ‘dirty’ ‘down there’.

(Shere Hite) The women who had orgasm during intercourse were usually those who, in&#8230;

(Shere Hite) It would also seem as if there is a definite break between&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I would like to know more about sex, but most of the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Men certainly have control of their own stimulation to orgasm: during intercourse&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The fact that I cannot come during intercourse must mean that I&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I’ve tried everything, but I’ve never had one.

(Shere Hite) More than anything else, I associate sex with anxiety, fear of failure,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I think I have sex almost always to consummate a bond, to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) We have arrived at a point in our thinking as a society&#8230;

(Shere Hite) As the feminist group the Redstockings put it, for many women marriage&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Whichever you prefer is a personal decision and a matter of temperament&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I don’t enjoy masturbating and have never reached orgasm when doing it&#8230;.

(Shere Hite) Physically it (intercourse) is slightly pleasant, but boring, because it lasts too&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Eleven point six percent of the women in this study never orgasmed,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) To assume that intercourse is the basic expression of female sexuality, during&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Waiting for the Right Man to make us orgasm is like waiting&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Most men have fucked me with a minimum of foreplay, have been&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Often I resent the fact that my husband limits most of his&#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;

(Shere Hite) Many women indicated that they could not even suggest that their male&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I am tired of having some man tell me what I should&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Sex in the best of all possible worlds? My clitoris would be&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Masturbation is another form of sex and should be seen as such.

(Shere Hite) Biologists and psychologists who have accepted the doctrine that the only natural&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I love anything a woman does that takes her off her back.

(Shere Hite) I like it when he comes in my mouth. I like the&#8230;

(Shere Hite) The fact is that the role of women in sex, as in&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; physical intensity of orgasm per se is greater for most women&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Once again, the problem &#8230; was, as with clitoral stimulation by hand,&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I think real information on women’s sexuality should be made available to&#8230;

(Shere Hite) My husband has on occasion threatened to withhold money or favor &#8230;&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Women are more willing to be dependent, or part of another person,&#8230;

(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;

(Shere Hite) In some cases, it was not even clear to the woman herself&#8230;

(Shere Hite) &#8230; even if a man has a strong physical desire for orgasm&#8230;

(Shere Hite) If my body wanted me to have orgasms, I’m sure it would&#8230;
