...first kick produced Human Sexual Response in 1966, a meticulous description of the physiological changes that take place in the male and female body during sex. The subjects were recruited largely from the academic community at Washington University and its medical school. They were paid to perform coitus, self-manipulation and a variety of other acts while clinic personnel, including Masters and Johnson, watched and filmed the proceedings. Although the book was deliberately written in clinical terms digestible only by doctors, it sold 250,000 copies in hardcover?at $10 each. Response also sparked a number of journalistic ponies, plus...

...authors' earlier study have proved invaluable in therapy. Working with the subjects who contributed to Response, for instance, they discovered a simple technique for the prevention of premature ejaculation that has proved highly successful in treatment. In matters of sexual technique, they suggest that the "female superior" position in coitus should be used more often.

After all, the commission noted, Indian directors never hesitate to feature bump-and-grind girly dances so provocative that they "may almost be called the performance of a unilateral act of coitus." The argument impressed few Indians; in a recent poll, 75% opposed kissing and nudity in films-this in the land of the Kama Sutra and the world's most erotic temple carvings.

...obsession with pathology: leukemia, gall-bladder trouble, heart disease, neurasthenia and nymphomania play important roles. One man is terrified of losing his genitalia; another surrenders them gladly in order to become a woman. The central character, a power-mad television executive with a superhuman capacity for vodka and coitus, is mysteriously incapable of love and marriage. The explanation is only a cut above those delivered in Hollywood psychodramas of the 1940s in which a white-coated mental hygienist resolved the plot with a five-minute dissertation on the Oedipus complex...
