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.

Good sex can be anything, including dirty.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
