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

More quotes by Volkmar Sigusch
There will be other forms in addition to our classic marriage. One is already looming on the horizon: polyamory, or having more than one intimate partner.
Volkmar Sigusch
For people who are desperate and searching, sexuality on the Internet offers an incredible release.
Volkmar Sigusch
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
There are young men who want thrills but no longer value sex, so they do completely different things, including aggressive things.
Volkmar Sigusch
Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
With an intelligent couple, it ought to be possible for the husband or wife to look for satisfaction outside the relationship - while always taking the partner into consideration, meaning acting openly but still discreetly.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.
Volkmar Sigusch
The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
I will always be referred to as a theorist, but I was only a fellow traveller with a degree.
Volkmar Sigusch
The sexual revolution of the 1960s was mostly a movement of young people. I felt that the so-called free relationships were overrated.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
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
The things that could be derived from the sexual sphere - happiness, endless fun and the end of capitalism - were grossly overestimated. The symbolic overglorification was downright unbearable.
Volkmar Sigusch
We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential rapists and abusers.
Volkmar Sigusch
There are pedosexuals who, even if the court forces them to go into treatment, do not pursue it or cannot pursue it.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
