The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman's construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse wit...h the other sex sexually, at any time of life.... During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle--yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. In fact, both homo- a...nd heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is an absolute impossibility in this society to reversely sexually objectify heterosexual men, just as it is impossible for a p...oor person of color to be a racist. Such extreme prejudice must be accompanied by the power of society's approval and legislation. While women and poor people of color may become intolerant, personally abusive, even hateful, they do not have enough power to be racist or sexist.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Having worked with many pregnant teenagers, I've yet to see one of them pregnant on information. It just doesn't happen. Kids are ...less likely to have intercourse in their teen years...if they are given good information, have open communication with their parents, and see their parents interacting in sexually healthy ways.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If men were equally at risk from this condition--if they knew their bellies might swell as if they were suffering from end-stage c...irrhosis, that they would have to go nearly a year without a stiff drink, a cigarette, or even an aspirin, that they would be subject to fainting spells and unable to fight their way onto commuter trains--then I am sure that pregnancy would be classified as a sexually transmitted disease and abortions would be no more controversial than emergency appendectomies.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Marriage accustomed one to the good things, so one came to take them for granted, but magnified the bad things, so they came to fe...el as painful as a grain in one's eye. An open window, a forgotten quart of milk, a TV set left blaring, socks on the bathroom floor could become occasions for incredible rage. And something happened sexually in marriage--the swearing to forsake all others, despite its slight observance, had a profound effect. Some people felt trapped by it, impelled to assert what they called freedom. Some accepted it like a rein, and in the effort to avoid pain in the form of hopeless desire, cut off occasions of desire, avoided having long talks at parties with attractive members of the opposite sex. In time, all feeling for the opposite sex was cut off, and intercourse limited to the barest politenesses.... But something happened to you when you did that, a kind of death seeped up from the genitals to the rest of the body, till it showed in the eyes, the gestures, in a certain lifelessness.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"Obscenity" is a legal term for a category of sexually explicit art and entertainment that the Supreme Court has said is without F...irst Amendment protection. According to those nine wise jurists, obscenity is sexually explicit material that lacks any serious artistic or other value, is patently offensive, and appeals to "shameful or morbid" sexual appetites, as judged by the standards of a particular community. Because pornographic works may arouse only healthy sexual urges, may have serious artistic value, and may not be considered patently offensive in a particular community, most pornography is not legally obscene.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Women of the tradition to which Alice and Martha belonged are prepared to discuss menstruation or pregnancy in the frankest of det...ail, but it is taboo to discuss sex, notwithstanding the show of frankness the subject is surrounded with. It follows that they get their information about how other women react sexually from their men, a system which has its disadvantages.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Till now, society has protected the adult and blamed the victim. It has been abetted in its blindness by theories, still in keepin...g with the pedagogical principles of our great- grandparents, according to which children are viewed as crafty creatures, dominated by wicked drives, who invent stories and attack their innocent parents or desire them sexually. In reality, children tend to blame themselves for their parents' cruelty and to absolve the parents, whom they invariably love, of all responsibility.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
