The works of W. Reich are still of relevance, with respect to an early scientific approach towards sex education; am in agreement with your observation.

Thanks Stephen for your support. Even sexologists make no attempt to differentiate between erotic fiction and reality. This gap is responsible for most of the so-called sexual dysfunctions we have today that generates billions of dollars in revenue for sex therapists and researchers. But the science of sexology is a political one rather than a scientific one. None of these researchers or the institutions that they belong to are accountable for the information they are promoting. I have contacted many people and even the Kinsey institute who don't reply. I am the only person worldwide who promotes Kinsey's work, which was brilliant and insightful.

A.C. Kinsey was surely an agenda-driven reformer; it was a novel approach to defining human sexuality and employed a graded scale to define a person’s sexuality. Kinsey saw sexual behavior on a continuum which rarely described individuals as either strictly homosexual or heterosexual, in terms of binary sexual ethics. Kinsey officially began sexual research in 1941 with the help of funds from the Rockefeller Foundation and the assistance of the National Research Council. In 1947 Kinsey founded the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University, now simply known as The Kinsey Institute.

Imo, Jane Elizabeth Thomas , the works of Heinrich Kaan (Генрих Каан, 1816-1893) are of great scientific value, with respect to the physiology of sexual behavior:

At the same time, the original Psychopathia Sexualis does more than repeat the old “thou shalt not” in nonreligious terms. As Foucault pointed out in his lectures, Kaan’s work had some important implications. It treated human sexuality as entirely explicable within nature -- with nonprocreative forms being, in effect, the accidental effect of a natural force being redirected via the brain (Citation from the last source).

Conclusion: am in agreement with your observation that the science of sexology is a political one rather than a scientific one, i.e. it is policed research (None of these researchers or the institutions that they belong to are accountable for the information they are promoting as you state).

Thanks Stephen! I find very few people who have actually read Kinsey's work. He wrote about the whole spectrum of human sexuality. He found that women are much less responsive than men and that female orgasm is most explicit when associated with women's solitary masturbatory activities. The association between female orgasm and clitoral stimulation comes from female masturbation and not from women's interaction with men. Kinsey also found that intercourse frequencies are determined by a man's sex drive and have nothing to do with women's orgasm claims. Women who claim to orgasm with a lover do not offer sex any more than women who know that orgasm is impossible. Women focus on upper body lovemaking - kissing & caressing. They opt for intercourse ironically because there is no genital stimulation. A woman feels nothing from intercourse, which is a fact men cannot accept given their own experience of delirious pleasure. The role of the penetrating male is very different to that of the reciever.

From the viewpoint of scientific methodology, I cannot detect a common denominator in most of these studies; there are more controversial research reports than sound facts.

The work of Anne Koedt still remains pioneering, imo.

I afraid that Kinsey and Hite are the only researchers who make any sense to me. I have not read Anne Koedt but I know she challenged the fantasy that intercourse arouses women. Personally I have found that there is no arousal with a lover. A woman can choose to be proactive or passive. It is a conscious choice. Orgasm is only possible when masturbating alone because of the need for an intense focus on erotic fantasy to generate the arousal needed to reach orgasm. There are so many wrong assumptions that are made by sexologists that are not supported by any logic, facts or research findings. It is really a crime that sex information is so misleading. The unrealistic expectations we have lead to all these so-called dysfunctions that make so much money for therapists and the like. It's like the witch doctors of years ago - just ignorance on top of ignorance. But sex education is extremely unpopular so I don't see anything changing any time soon.

Being able to identify a false ideal is one thing. To reject it, even in the most vulnerable, uncertain parts of your being, is another.

We do not believe that capitalism, or any economic system, is the cause of female oppression, nor do we believe that female oppression will disappear as a result of purely economic revolution.

Yes, sex education is extremely unpopular; most people do prefer myths over enlightenment or sound reasoning.

It's not people do believe everything, it's people fall in to the entertainment what arouses persons feelings of assimilate.

Often people have tendency to assumptive accertain.

Thanks Fatema for commenting! I think most people do believe that what they read in erotic fiction or see in pornography must be true. Even sexologists assume that women orgasm with a lover through intercourse, cunnilingus and manual stimulation of the clitoris. But female orgasm for men seems to represent confirmation of male performance. Certainly there are many assumptions that are made for which there are no supporting facts, logic or research findings. This does not seem to bother anyone ... apart from me!

Because the reality in which they live does not meet their ambitions or they are unable to make life difficult

Certainly I'm sure that men use fantasy with an unenthusiastic partner. But even in this situation men don't seem to accept that a real-life partner represents the reality of female sexuality. Pornography is fake from start to finish. But this is too depressing a fact for most men to accept. Men seem to need the reassurance of a lover giving positive feedback.

It is not everyone that believe in everything they read in erotic fiction.

for some that believe, they do so due to lack of knowledge on real life experience about the topics covered in the erotic fiction.

Fiction can be enjoyable and sometimes educative, but it is essential to distinguish between the fictional world and real life.

Real experiences and relationships are entirely different from those depicted in erotic fiction.

Thanks for your support. I couldn't agree more but sexologists define female sexual dysfunction in terms of the orgasms portrayed in pornography. The fact that the scientific community does not differentiate between reality and fiction, it makes it difficult for anyone else to make sense of sex.
