Worse, he said, the movie would strengthen the Women's Lib thesis that anything other than a clitoral orgasm is a male myth. "I think that vaginal orgasm is superior to the clitoral," Dr. Levin announced...
...proliferating variety of mating arrangements may signify a new enlightenment, or the end of the old morality, depending upon one's point of view.

Not even Ann Landers knows, certainly not Midge Decter, who is at her weakest when - especially on sex - she seems to be passing off private views as nature's laws. What Miss Decter does know is that these issues are not the issue, that the real question is whether or not ideology can or should define life so that all human griefs...
