...sleazy horror film called Count Yorga, Vampire contained even more than the usual quota of gore, including a sequence in which a pliant young woman has an orgasm while a vampire sucks blood from her neck. The board wanted to rate the film either R (anyone under 17 restricted unless accompanied by parent or guardian) or X (forbidden entirely to those under 17 or, in some places, 18). The studio agreed to cut some of the bloodier footage and finally won a GP rating. What remained under the GP label included a shortened version of the jugular orgasm...
Among Freud's many strange pupils, Dr. Wilhelm Reich was surely the strangest. To his disciples, he was a prophet who preached a gospel of orgasm. But many colleagues in Europe put him down as a pornographic charlatan and Communist crackpot. After Reich moved to the U.S., a federal court handed him a two-year sentence for defying a court order that forbade shipment of his notorious but harmless "orgone box" across state lines.* Yet now, 14 years after his death in the Lewisburg (Pa.) prison, Reich is recognized as a pioneer of the nonverbal, body-oriented therapies that...
...that ten years of classical analysis had failed to shake. Introduced to Reich's writings by a friend, Bean was fascinated by his theory that emotional and physical health depend on the free flow through the body of orgone energy, which finds its full expression in the Reichian orgasm-a happening that is physiologically similar to a normal orgasm, but is supposedly experienced as a quasi-religious convulsion of cosmic proportions...
...some of her American sisters. Freud believed that in the psychosexually mature woman, the primary erogenous zone was the vagina, but Masters and Johnson found the clitoris equally important. Women's Lib theoreticians were delighted, and Anne Koedt's pamphlet called The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm has become an important part of the liberation canon, bought today even by high school girls with inquiring minds. Greer takes bold issue with the notion of "the utter passivity and even irrelevance of the vagina." It is time, she says, to put the clitoris in its place as only...
...what he finally decides is as simple as it is complex: Norman Mailer does not want to believe that the vaginal orgasm is a myth, so he just doesn't believe it. His reasons range from the lofty and approach the ridiculous. Above all, he wants to cling to the mystery of sex, to the "enigma of orgasm," as he puts it, to "the orgasm as the mirror of one's existence." As a result, he will not give credence to laboratory evidence presented by Kate Millett (collected from Drs. Masters and Johnson and Dr. Mary Jane Sherfey) that...
