The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality

Naslovnica
Seven Stories Press, 4. stu 2003. - Broj stranica: 512
A reproduction of the classic text, unavailable now for more than a decade, with a new introduction by the author. The Hite Report, first published in 1976, was a sexual revolution in six hundred pages. To answer sensitive questions dealing with the most intimate details of women's sexuality, Hite's innovation was simple: she asked women, a lot of them, everything--and published the results.
One hundred thousand women, ages fourteen to seventy-eight, were asked what they do and don't like about sex; how orgasm really feels, with and without intercourse; how it feels not to have an orgasm during sex; the importance of clitoral stimulation and masturbation; and to name the greatest pleasures and frustrations of their sexual lives, among many other questions.
The Hite Report declares that orgasm is easy and strong for women, given the right stimulation; that most women have orgasm most easily during masturbation or clitoral stimulation by hand; that sex as we define it is a cultural institution, not a biological one; and that attitudes must change to include the stimulation women desire.

Stranica 17 - Researchers, looking for statistical 'norms,' have ... all too often wound up telling women how they should feel rather than asking them how they do feel" (p. 1 1). [Male] researchers have thrust language upon passive women, whereas Hite's questioning would attentively stimulate women to respond. The model for good sexual research is structurally analogous to the pattern for good sex. Hite asks; women respond. / But then Hite tells them what their responses...
