Document Summary

356-358: problems in doing sex research, personal and very intimate. Etc. : represented more scientific data than what have been written or gathered before all together. Myth and fallacies: the myth of the males" sexual wisdom, the biggest problem in sexual relationships, believed that men knew when a female wanted sex and what was required during sex to make them feel good. I. e. a male rubbing a women down vigorously but the women"s does not tell the man that it hurts because it would demolish his masculinity. Men would observe and think, she"s blushing so much so it must be working, she"s getting turned on: the search for aphrodisiacs, the search for a substance for someone to become sexually aroused. It doesn"t stimulate sexual arousal but only helps someone to get an erection when they have trouble to do so. If the sex is not good, theres something wrong with the marriage, etc: sex and old age.
