...married men, 48% say their wives always or nearly always reach orgasm, a figure only slightly higher than the 45% reported by Kinsey in 1948. The lack of a significant rise in the female orgasmic rate puzzles Pietropinto and Simenauer, who note that the majority of Kinsey's men reached orgasm within two minutes, while most males now purposely prolong intercourse. "The improvement in female orgasmic response," they conclude, "has not kept pace with the increased duration of the sex act and men's increasing interest in bringing partners to orgasm...
...waited through sophomore year and went to the first meeting junior year. Apparently, many, many gays at Harvard shared my fears. If Kinsey's estimate that almost 10 per cent of Americans are predominately homosexual is applied to Harvard, there are roughly 600 undergraduate homosexuals. (There are 180 people in Matthews, 18 gay Matthews residents; 140 marching band members, 14 gay bandies. Gay people are not "them," somewhere "out there." If you live in a quint next to a quint, one of you is probably gay, whether you know it or not, whether you like...
Surveys of sexual manners and mores are contradictory and tend to reflect the views of the pollsters. Perhaps the most significant such survey, however, is one taken in 1970 by the Kinsey Institute (officially the Institute for Sex Research), which is being used as the basis of a book entitled American Sexual Standards, to be published next year. Like the Yankelovich survey, the Kinsey study of 3,000 people showed a substantial majority (72% to 87%) disapproving of adultery, homosexuality, prostitution and casual sex among adolescents. "What really surprised us," Colin J. Williams, coauthor of the study, told TIME...
...alchemical secrets of the amorous arts: he is the mythical Italian lover. The myth took a body blow, so to speak, with the recent publication of excerpts from a 400-page study titled Report on the Sexual Behavior of Italians, or, as it was quickly dubbed, "The Italian Kinsey Report." The Italian male emerges from the study as a cursory, inept lover, crippled by a Don Giovanni complex that propels him endlessly toward the conquest of women...
...sexologists agree with some, if not all of Caletti's findings. Anthropologist Gabriella Parca calls the new study "antiscientific" because it is limited to the Veneto region. "In the Veneto there is much more sexual freedom than in Sicily or Sardinia," she points out. "It is as though Kinsey had conducted his national study only in New York." But Parca and many other women agree with Caletti's debunking of the Latin lover myth. Parca characterized Italian men in her book The Sultans, published eleven years ago, as selfish, insensitive oafs. Now engaged in preparing a new edition...
