Quote

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.

Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.

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

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.

Just go to an auto show, and you'll see all the signs of sexual arousal in the men: shiny eyes, tremors, sex flush. An acute example of the need for professional sex research.

We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential rapists and abusers.

Most young people seem to be behaving very intelligently: They look at things once in a while, but then they find it so idiotic and uncool that they just look away again. That is, provided they're not growing up in a family in which a drunk father is already watching pornos in the morning.

It's very important to approach pedophiles and pedosexuals and offer them therapy. It's been my experience that you can reach your objective with what I would call kind-hearted, informed and enlightened patients - in the sense that they don't lose their desire, but that they no longer have physical contact with children. That would be the goal.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

It's important for a couple to talk about their sexual preferences. On the other hand, the aura of the mysterious should be preserved.

Most pornographic images are simply too repulsive.

The social problem is that we haven't come up with any alternative models. Our culture hasn't developed an ars erotica. Think, for example, of conditions in India or in Japanese culture and of how the erotic has been cultivated there. They're not as clinical and rabbit-like as we are.

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

The traits of our sexual culture are still speechlessness, loneliness, violence and not enough desire and love.

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century.
