“An appropriately warm and affectionate relationship with the father is the greatest basis for future warm and lasting relationships with men emotionally and sexually. I say this not by virtue of any statistic but by virtue of the absence of such relationships is most of the sexually unhappy women I've treated. I can't think of one who had a wondrous relationship with her father- except for those who did have such a relationship but lost it because of the early death of the father.” Growing UpIntimacyFathers And DaughtersWomen S SexualitySexual SatisfactionWomen And Their Fathers Author:Avodah K.

“Many men have an investment in women's orgasms. It's as if their masculinity is afflicted if women don't have orgasms. Men have more of a division between affection and sex. Whereas most women are less concerned about sexual function than wanting their partners to be affectionate and caring- they pretend to have orgasms so their partners will feel that they have performed well.” SexSexualityFemale SexualityFemale OrgasmFaking Orgasm Book:The Sexual Self Source: The Sexual Self
“A major theme among the women I treat is their difficulty in asking men to do this or that, to touch them in a certain way. Women are very tender with the male ego. They're afraid of offending their partner's pride because men like to think they know how to perform.” Men And WomenMale EgoWomen S SexualitySexual SatisfactionFemale Orgasm Book:The Sexual Self Source: The Sexual Self
