Document Summary
Problems in doing sex research: there are laws against sex research, and it is a little uncomfortable in some situations for some people. In pioneering stages it was not a morally right thing to masturbate. However kinsey reported that 9/10 men do masturbate and therefor normalizes the act. The myth of the males" sexual wisdom: men are supposed to know how to arouse their partner without being warned or informed because it affects their masculinity. The search for aphrodisiacs: a substance taken in to be sexually aroused. To this date, there are no aphrodisiacs known to stimulate sexual arousal. Penis size: there is less and less sensitivity as you go up a vaginal barrier therefore penis size does not play a huge role in sexual arousal for women. Sex as a barometer of a good relationship: you could have terrible sex but a great relationship. Sex is not a measurement of a good relationship.
