...would argue that what is written in the Hite Report or The Joy of Lesbian Sex is of relatively little importance. What is important is that the feminists' desire for sexual equality has cleared the way for a great deal of open discussion about human sexuality, which can only be a healthy development...
Some time ago an interesting book came out called The Hite Report, purporting to be a survey of women's sexuality. Aside from the surveys that Hite conducted, there was a great deal of editorializing on the part of the author (ranging from statements that the male of the species had an almost hysterical fixation on penetration and ejaculation, to the fascinating comment that women who rejected lesbian sex were traitors to their sex), and some truly extraordinary statements about men--men as human beings, as beings capable of emotions and as sexual beings.

Author Shere Hite is indeed open to that charge. Her book depicts men as selfishly concerned with their own sexual pleasure, attacks sexual intercourse for "institutionalizing out" women's needs, urges men to give up orgasms altogether, and suggests that women who reject lesbian love are selling out to the male oppressors. Pietropinto's response: a quickie sex survey on men, intended both...
