ale myth false, says book
•. ■. •“
United Press International
NEW YORK—Most American
men prefer marriage to promiscuity,
are bored by female nudity, and
sexually passive women turn them
off, not on.
That’s hardly a portrait of the
ruthless “male chauvenist pig,” but
ffs the one that emerges in the most
detailed sexuality survey since the
Kinsey Report of 1948.
The new survey, compiled in a
nationwide study of 4,066 men, is
contained in “Beyond the Male
Myth,” to be published Dec. 3. In
it, authors Anthony Pietropinto and
Jacqueline Simenauer pop the
macho mystique like a soap bubble.
“Modem man has been depicted
in a variey of ways, most of them
ttering, all of them sketchy and
simplistic,” they write. “The TV
situation comedies portray him as an
imasculated, uninspired bungler,
ile the adventure shows cast him
as a cold-blooded, violent hunter of
men and cynical predator of women.
“The feminists accuse him of
being exploitive, egotistical and ob
sessed with indiscriminate sexual
gratification. Writers of popular
psychology books describe him as
uncommunicative, insensitive and
driven by machismo.”
In the survey, the man emerges
as nothing of the sort, turning out to
be at least as sympathetic and sensi
tive a human being as his female
counterpart.
Pietropinto, a psychiatrist, and
Simenauer, a science writer,
learned that contrary to the prevail
ing myth, the sexually aggressive
woman holds no fear for the average
man. On the contrary, they say,
“The sexually passive woman may
be a major cause of impotency for
almost half the nation’s men.”
Men, they say, are more in
terested in sex than ever before—
most would like it on an average of
four times a week—and kissing and
caressing was cited as the most
enjoyable foreplay.
Yet for all the increased interest,
only one man in five considers sex
the most important pleasure in life
and—in a blow to publishers of the
girly magazine centerfolds—nudity
got few votes as a turn-on. Oral sex
emerged as the most favored new
intimacy.
Three-fourths of the men cited
marriage as the “ideal sex life—only
one in 10 preferred the arrangement
of simply living together.
The survey also indicated men
have more sensitivity and pay more
attention to their lovemaking than
did their Kinsey counterparts of 30
years ago.
“Men are more successful than
ever before in bringing women to
orgasm— and are devastated when
they do not,” say the authors.
