Quote

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

There are pedosexuals who, even if the court forces them to go into treatment, do not pursue it or cannot pursue it.

Good sex can be anything, including dirty.

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

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
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
Image
Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Perhaps the couple got married at 25 and now they're 45 and this is an option. And if a couple is still together, or perhaps finds its way back together, I like to say that it's forever. They belong together, it's a good fit, it's the right pairing. It almost gives me goose bumps.
