Bowman Says
Anything Goes
After Wedlock
By ROBERT SOLOVEY
Battalion Staff Writer
Anything goes!
These were magic and comforting words to some ears as Dr.
Henry Bowman, University of Texas sociologist, spoke at the
fourth of five Marriage Forums Tuesday night in the YMCA.
Bowman explained that in marriage, anything that a couple
does that moves toward a satisfying experience for both is good
if done by mutual consent and in private.
“There are no rules but their rules and no standards but their
standards,” he said.
Speaking on “Sex in Human Relations-Marital,” Bowman said
sex is both the cause and effect of other problems.
“Couples use sex as a hook on which to hang their other
problems. The less successful sex is, the more conspicuous it
becomes to a couple and the more is said about it.”
Bowman then explained the responses of the male and female
during sexual intercourse. He said the male undergoes an important
ego involvement, but the female has an even larger ego involvement
during the process.
He said the number of orgasms a male can have is probably
limited to three or less in any given night but the number a female
can have is almost limitless.
“Sexual response in a man is like building a fire with dry
newspapers and dry matches, whereas in a female, it’s like build
ing a fire in the rain,” he added.
Bowman said a woman’s responsiveness builds slowly and prior
to sex a woman wants the male to be tender and loving, making her
aware that he needs her and that he cares.
He noted that during the so-called “after glow” period, a woman
needs even more love and reassurance.
“A man may feel overwhelming sleepiness but if he goes to
sleep then, he hasn’t missed the boat; he doesn’t even know the
boats exists,” he added.
“We make too much of “technique” by reading books that come
in a plain brown wrapper. You can’t mechanize love. It’s ridiculous.
What are you going to do, give a girl a catolog of postures from
which to choose?”
Bowman felt the huge parties and receptions that surround the
wedding day often leave a couple worn and fatigued.
He firmly believes a couple should rest for two or three days
before starting their sexual adjustment instead of rushing into it
because of tradition of an overzealous male nature while they are
both still tired.
Men seem to have an inborn desire to see unclothed women,
but women see little sense in seeing unclothed men, he said.
“On the wedding night girls frequently have inhibitions about
bodily exposure, even in front of their husbands.
“Couples need time to work out an adjustment. You can’t
experience marriage in 24 hours. It may take 24 weeks or even 24
years,” he said.
Many women fear the initial pain of intercourse because of
superstitions, reports of the practices of other cultures or simply
because of their own anatomy, Bowman added.
“No man can tell that a girl is a non-virgin.”
Bowman stressed there are many reasons that the female mem
brane or hymen may not be present.
He also said several conditions of its presence can interfere
with normal intercourse and that in either case a prospective wife
should have a premarital examination by her physician.
“The male must be patient and tender if the female is to
avoid pain or discomfort,” he said.
Discussing what he called periodicity. Bowman said a woman
usually goes through a monthly mood cycle.
“At times a woman may be very affectionate but for one or two
days a month she may be angry, depressed, and sometimes a little
cruel. This is perfectly natural and normal.”
Next week’s speaker for the concluding session of the Marriage
Forums will be Dr. Paul G. Wassenich from Texas Christian Uni
versity, who will discuss “Marrying Outside Your Faith — will
love find a way?”
Ninety-six juniors, sophomores
and freshmen are candidates for

the
New Traffic Circle Game: Rushin’ Roulette
By JOHN HOTARD
Battalion Special Writer
For those drivers who aren’t in
the know, the traffic circle is
now obliterated. In its place will
soon be a safe intersection with
signs, lights and umpteen mil
lion lanes for traffic.
The Texas Highway Depart
ment personnel are working as
best they can between the bad
weather and traffic dodging, and
they expect to be finished soon.
However . . . until the work is
completed, it’s everybody for
himself. This brings up the new
fun game called “Rushin’ Roul
ette.” It’s the same as “Chick
en,” except more people can play.
The situation is thus:
Whereas once upon a time
everybody merged and went
around in circles, everybody now
converges from 87,000 different
directions onto one spot.
This is where the game starts.
The rules are similar to a re
cent popular song. The guy on
the left hits the guy on the right
and the guy on the right yields
to the guy in the middle and the
guy in the middle stalls in the
center lane and the guy in the
rear . . . gets arrested by the
KK’s and has his meal card re
voked.
The object of the game is to
get the most points. Accumula
tion of points depends upon who
and what you are able to hit
without being hit yourself.
Points are awarded in the fol
lowing manner:
All 1964 (or later) Cadillacs,
Buicks and Oldsmobiles are
worth 15 points if you can hit
’em while they’re moving. Fords,
Chevrolets, Pontiacs and Ply-
mouths are worth 10 each.
Stalled cars don’t count.
Edsels don’t count.
All cars earlier than 1924 don’t
count.
Also, no fair picking on the
little guy unless he hits you first,
or takes advantage of your size
and cuts in on you, sneering at
the same time.
This eliminates Volkswagen
sedans. Volkswagen buses are
worth 25 points, but they only
count once, because when you’ve
hit one Volkswagen bus, you’ve
hit them all.
Bonus points are awarded for
hitting any car which is driven
by a prof whose course you
flunked last semester — 10 points
if it was an elective, 25 points
if you needed the course to grad
uate.
Additional points are also giv
en for every rubber highway
marker (the dunce hats) you hit.
They’re five points apiece.
Smudge pots are 30 points for
each one grabbed while your car
is moving. (Have you ever grab
bed a burning smudge pot while
the car is moving ?)
Stealing red flags out of work
men’s hands while passing
through the intersection is worth
15 points for each flag. (How
ever, the Highway Department
frowns upon your hitting their
personnel, and so 25 points will
be subtracted for each workman
knocked over while stealing flags.
Hitting stop signs and traffic
light poles don’t count unless, of
course, they fall, on another car.
One final note: DO NOT hit
any car that has a red gumball
machine on the top and a fishing
pole on the rear bumper. Not only
will you lose all your points, but
also your license, your ID card,
about $50 and 30 days of your
freedom.
Everyone understand the rules ?
Good.
All drivers
gines.
