As I am reading it, I am falling in love with it. Considering how much the author feels that one should stop focusing too much on the obvious visual / wallet aspects, why does he not recommend that people should get to know each other without meeting and without knowing about a man's car or his wealth?
Chapter 10 on erectile dysfunction is interesting.
Other books of his:
Emotional and Sexual Literacy for the Modern Man
THE OTHER SIDE OF POWER
The author refers to the "The Hite Report: A National Study of Female Sexuality", the ebook can be downloaded from here.
In pages 127-128 of the Hite Report, in section "Is orgasm important?", there are two statements:
- “Whoever said orgasm wasn’t important for a woman was undoubtedly a man.”
- "Women are now under great pressure to perform by having orgasms, especially during intercourse." and “An orgasm is not necessary to make you ‘normal,’ but men do expect it, so I often force myself, especially because he enjoys watching."
The questions I have now while reading the Hite report:
- Are the responses mostly honest? There are many cases when the responses about sex are dishonest / inaccurate even when they are anonymous.
- Have the responses been analyzed well and a good summary made? I have a serious doubt here. Do those two statements mentioned above largely represent how women feel? Can they?
Updated on 29-Jan-2012 (a philosophical perspective on erectile dysfunction):
While reading (page 455 out of 1053) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand I came across this:
Let a man corrupt his values and his view of existence, let him profess that love is not self-enjoyment but self-denial, that virtue consists, not of pride, but of pity or pain or weakness or sacrifice, that the noblest love is born, not of admiration, but of charity, not in response to values, but in response to flaws—and he will have cut himself in two. His body will not obey him, it will not respond, it will make him impotent toward the woman he professes to love and draw him to the lowest type of whore he can find.
Page 456: Only the man who extols the purity of a love devoid of desire, is capable of the depravity of a desire devoid of love. .... He holds undefined emotions about non-conceivable subjects as the meaning of life and as his claim to virtue. And he cries with despair, because he can feel nothing for the women he respects, but finds himself in bondage to an irresistible passion for a slut from the gutter.
