Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.
I'm reminded of a female patient who was particularly aroused by the shape of her husband's shoulder. And this hint of perversion should ideally remain a secret for both partners.
There are young men who want thrills but no longer value sex, so they do completely different things, including aggressive things.
Just go to an auto show, and you'll see all the signs of sexual arousal in the men: shiny eyes, tremors, sex flush. An acute example of the need for professional sex research.
The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century.
The sexual revolution of the 1960s was mostly a movement of young people. I felt that the so-called "free relationships" were overrated.
Sexuality is pushed back more and more and people try to replace what they've lost with other forms of excitement.
Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.
I maintain that we are still a largely ignorant society when it comes to sex. We speak incorrectly and superficially about sexuality. And when you talk about it too much, you run the risk of destroying its mystery.
