...make articles appealing. The cover displays Hugh Hefner surrounded by several Playboy bunnies; the titles of the top stories run: "The Habit of Balling," "James Bond Reduced to a Prissy Liberalism," and "Hot Damn: Texas Has a Whorehouse." The cover and titles are catchy for their aggressive male sexual connotation. The Crimson seems to believe that it can disregard its female readership with impunity...
...Pope and his church are out of step with contemporary Americans, including many Roman Catholics, in dealing with sexuality. In the U.S. generally, sexual pleasure has lately come to be regarded as a matter of personal gratification unconnected with social responsibility or, of course, with sin. Even among U.S. Catholics the trend is toward the belief that any individual act whatever is acceptable if it can be thought to foster love or self-esteem and enrich the life of the participants.

Paul ruled out any means-before, during or after the conjugal sex act-that would render procreation impossible.

That's the title of the latest book by erstwhile New York Timesman Talese, 47, who spent eight intriguing and, some suspect, interminable years in bedrooms, board rooms, massage parlors, even on a free-love farm, researching the changing sexual mores of middle-class America. The conclusions are so enticing that the book, with the publication date still six months away, already has earned nearly $4 million, including a $2.5 million film-rights agreement last week. Now that the sex epic has climaxed, Talese wants to write about the sociology...
...higher percentage of the straying women said they found their adventures very satisfactory (57% to the males' 34%). The women paid the price for being satisfied; they reported almost twice as much guilt as men. Spanier says that might prove one of two things: either women express their sexual needs better, or "they may tend to label relationships with greater intensity." Translation of option two: women may make too much out of a simple fling...
