...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...
Hite also concludes that orgasms produced by clitoral massage are stronger and more ecstatic than those produced by intercourse-a finding that other sex researchers, including Masters and Johnson, support. But Hite goes still further, arguing that many female orgasms during intercourse are "emotional orgasms"-diffuse physical sensations produced mainly from feelings of love and intimacy.

"If you have ever experienced something you called 'love,' which emotions were involved?") that Hite revised the questionnaire three times and then ran into problems lumping together answers to three versions of the same question...
...things to come: one portion of the current book is entitled "Do Men Need Intercourse?"Though Hite never answers her own question, she refers admiringly to the 19th century sexual practices of the famous Oneida Community in New York. The Oneida men usually indulged in intercourse but not orgasm...
