Jane

(Shere Hite) Like the competition among women fifty years ago as to who made&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I get paranoid. Did I please her? Was I good enough? This&#8230;

(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) In short, the only real difference between men’s and women’s erections is&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Despite this, a majority of women stated flatly that, no matter what&#8230;

(Shere Hite) I used to (fake orgasm), and then stopped, and found that men&#8230;

(Shere Hite) Many men have a completely genital approach to sex. Sex play is&#8230;

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

(Shere Hite) &#8230; if a man’s desire for intercourse is not shared by a&#8230;

(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;
