Quote

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.

Internet sexuality shows that we're becoming more and more self-involved. I'm talking about self-sex.

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.

Sexual desire declines after four to seven years. That's been proven.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Good sex can be anything, including dirty.

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

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.

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

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