Sexual Honesty
(SHERE HITE)
Sexual Honesty is a selection of replies to the
questionnaires about womens'' sexuality that were used in compiling The Hite
Report. Obviously they have been selected for interest, but the variety
they reflect is still amazing: lesbians and heterosexuals, women who first
masturbated at twenty eight and women who can''t remember when they started,
women who can do without sex and women desperate for it, women who are strictly
monogamous and women who are wildly promiscuous, and so forth. I would have
thought that, post-Kinsey, everyone knew this sort of variety existed, but
statistics don''t give the same feeling of immediacy that these responses do.
Funny, sad, confused, angry ? the extracts read more like autobiographical
short stories than survey responses.
Anyone who still thinks female (or human) sexuality is something simple and
easily understandable should read Sexual Honesty and have their minds
broadened. It might also be of some use to women confused about their own
sexuality. I''m not sure why my sister thought I needed to read it, however.
