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.

More quotes by 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
I will always be referred to as a theorist, but I was only a fellow traveller with a degree.
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
It's important for a couple to talk about their sexual preferences. On the other hand, the aura of the mysterious should be preserved.
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
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.
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
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
Sexual desire declines after four to seven years. That's been proven.
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
We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential rapists and abusers.
Volkmar Sigusch
Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.
Volkmar Sigusch
Most pornographic images are simply too repulsive.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
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
There are pedosexuals who, even if the court forces them to go into treatment, do not pursue it or cannot pursue it.
Volkmar Sigusch
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.
Volkmar Sigusch
Sexuality is pushed back more and more and people try to replace what they've lost with other forms of excitement.
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.
