Pretty interesting text: 'Today's American male...has even lost much of his sexual initiative and control.... Women are taking charge of sex relations, and they now have three new weapons to make their control effective: First...women condition men, before marriage, to the rule that the girl regulates all physical contact.... Second, women have now gained an important share of a couple's decision over birth control.... When the oral pills...become available, women's confidence in sex relations will increase and men will have still less control over conception.... Finally, the modern male...must concern himself primarily with satisfying his wife.... Even though...male and female responses are not at all identical, many specialists insist that it is the male's responsibility to bring about mutal and simultaneous satisfaction every time.'
