Quote

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.

I have the utmost respect for people who are asexual. I didn't believe that they existed at first. But they do exist, and their numbers are growing.

I will always be referred to as a theorist, but I was only a fellow traveller with a degree.

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual deviants, particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.

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

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.

When it comes to sexuality, people like to tell lies. It's only when it comes to money that they lie more.

Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

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.

There are many options in a marriage. If the couple has been together for a certain amount of time and has a certain amount of liberalism or life experience, it could be the kind of relationship in which one partner ventures into the occasional affair, which is then forgiven. This only happens every 13 years on average, but it obviously does occur.

The sexual revolution of the 1960s was mostly a movement of young people. I felt that the so-called free relationships were overrated.

Aura of the mysterious is a minor perversion that a couple shares. A fetish that one of the two partners finds arousing, or a particular sexual scenario. Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.

Sexual desire declines after four to seven years. That's been proven.Because it's the most compatible with our spiritual origins. Father, mother, small family - that's the way we've developed our souls, the way we've become, and the way we feel safe, protected and loved.

Key feature of sexual revolution is the large-scale publication and commercialization of details that were once secret. Sexuality has been trivialized. The interesting thing about this is that exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

There are young men who want thrills but no longer value sex, so they do completely different things, including aggressive things.

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.

For people who are desperate and searching, sexuality on the Internet offers an incredible release.

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.

Sexuality is pushed back more and more and people try to replace what they've lost with other forms of excitement.
