I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.
Betty Friedan

The individualism of American life, to our glory and despair, creates anger and encourages its release for when everything is possible, limitations are irksome.

Volkmar Sigusch
Image
Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.
Volkmar Sigusch

There are young men who want thrills but no longer value sex, so they do completely different things, including aggressive things.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
I maintain that we are still a largely ignorant society when it comes to sex. We speak incorrectly and superficially about sexuality. And when you talk about it too much, you run the risk of destroying its mystery.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
It's important for a couple to talk about their sexual preferences. On the other hand, the aura of the mysterious should be preserved.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
You're married to a woman who has no objection to another woman joining the couple. Then she brings in her boyfriend. Suddenly you realize - my God! - you can love more than one person. In fact, you can love several people at the same time.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
While the Internet generally tends to have a stress-relieving function for adults - as long as they aren't inclined toward sex addiction - I don't see this being the case for adolescents.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
I'm reminded of a female patient who was particularly aroused by the shape of her husband's shoulder. And this hint of perversion should ideally remain a secret for both partners.
Volkmar Sigusch
Image
For people who are desperate and searching, sexuality on the Internet offers an incredible release.
Volkmar Sigusch

Image
Moved by a passion they do not understand for a goal they seldom reach, men and women are haunted by the vision of a distant possibility that refuses to be extinguished.
