...basis of her findings, Hite criticizes Sex Researchers Masters and Johnson for insisting that intercourse is the normal way for women to reach orgasm. The famous team argues that the thrust of the penis pulls the labia against the clitoris and produces female orgasm. To Hite this is "a Rube Goldberg scheme" that works for very few women...
...women in Africa," says a Ghanaian professor, "is the adaptation of customary law to modern society. The tension is over how and why old customs should be obeyed." Many tribes still practice clitoridotomy, or female circumcision, as part of the initiation into adulthood. A few tribes stitch together the labia of girls at puberty and unstitch them only after marriage. Tribal inheritance systems can leave a wife with little or nothing when her husband dies. A bride price ranging from about $40 to as much as $4,000 is still exacted from a prospective bridegroom by the bride...
...Spanish playboy and jet set superhost; of a heart disease; in Montfort-l'Amaury, France. Heir to ever-producing Mexican silver mines, Beistegui squandered fortunes on incredibly lavish parties -most notably in 1951, when at a cost of $750,000 he restored Venice's 89-room Palazzo Labia, gilded it with an estimated $3,000,000 worth of period trappings, then treated 1,500 friends to a stupendous all-night bash...

A lubricant appears in the vagina. As excitement proceeds to the next phase, the pigmented rings around the nipples (areolae) become engorged and impinge upon...
...Spanish merchant family named Labia started building a palace just off the Grand Canal. The palace's ultimate glory was a set of 18th century frescoes by Tiepolo, which depicted the story of Antony and Cleopatra with almost as much flair as the 20th Century-Fox film. With the extinction of the Labia clan, the palace turned into a squalid dump; illiterate boarders spent unknowing nights under the Tiepolos. In 1948, another Spaniard, the wealthy Don Carlos de Beistegui, now 78, rediscovered the palace, as he said, "with a violence of love and passion that no woman has inspired...
