Présentation de l'éditeur
A reproduction of the classic text, unavailable now for more than a decade, with a new introduction by the author. The Hite Report, first published in 1976, was a sexual revolution in six hundred pages. To answer sensitive questions dealing with the most intimate details of women's sexuality, Hite's innovation was simple: she asked women, a lot of them, everything--and published the results.
One hundred thousand women, ages fourteen to seventy-eight, were asked what they do and don't like about sex; how orgasm really feels, with and without intercourse; how it feels not to have an orgasm during sex; the importance of clitoral stimulation and masturbation; and to name the greatest pleasures and frustrations of their sexual lives, among many other questions.
The Hite Report declares that orgasm is easy and strong for women, given the right stimulation; that most women have orgasm most easily during masturbation or clitoral stimulation by hand; that sex as we define it is a cultural institution, not a biological one; and that attitudes must change to include the stimulation women desire.

Questionnaire/ Contents include Masturbation, Orgasm, Intercourse, Clitoral Stimulation, Lesbianism, Sexual Slavery, Sexual Revolution, Older Women, Female Sexuality, Appendices. Notes. Shere Hite (November 2, 1942[3] September 9, 2020) was an American-born German sex educator and feminist. Her sexological work focused primarily on female sexuality. Hite built upon biological studies of sex by Masters and Johnson and by Alfred Kinsey and was the author of The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study on Female Sexuality. She also referenced theoretical, political and psychological works associated with the feminist movement of the 1970s, such as Anne Koedt's essay "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm". She renounced her United States citizenship in 1995 to become German. Hite focused on understanding how individuals regard sexual experience and the meaning it holds for them. Hite believed that the ease at which women orgasm during masturbation contradicted traditional stereotypes about female sexuality. Hite's work concluded that 70% of women do not have orgasms through in-out, thrusting intercourse but are able to achieve orgasm easily by masturbation or other direct clitoral stimulation. Hite used an individualistic research method. Thousands of responses from anonymous questionnaires were used as a framework to develop a discourse on human responses to gender and sexuality. Hite has been praised for her theoretical fruitfulness in sociological research. There were virtually no books about male sexuality by women and relatively few books about male sexuality by men themselves. This would seem to indicate that women's sexuality is regarded as a "problem" whereas men's is not regarded at all (perhaps because it is seen as the norm). No woman I have ever met (or read about) would dare presume to tell a man what he feels during the sex act, how his orgasm is best obtained, whether he is feeling what he should be feelingyet men have been telling women all those things about their sexuality for centuries. Gradually, there came a number of books that let women speak in their own words about what they liked, disliked, felt, thought. These came as a revelation. "The Hite Report" represents the culmination of this trend. It could have as much impact on sexual mores in this country as the Kinsey reports. Women who read it will feel enormously reassured about their own sexuality and if enough men read it, the quality of sex in America is bound to improve. What Shere Hite has done seems very simple, but next to the inscrutable prose of Masters and Johnson, her simplicity is more than welcome. She sent questionnaires to 3,000 women of all ages, professions and geographical locations, asking them everything about sex, orgasm, masturbation and she composed a book of their replies. The women speak in their own words and what they have to say is utterly fascinating and often surprising. We learn from "The Hite Report" just how much sexual starvation exists in the midst of this seeming plenty. We learn that 95 percent of women (even those who think themselves "frigid") always reach orgasm when they masturbate, even though no one taught them how and even though most of them feel guilty about it. We learn how they do it, how they hold their legs up for orgasm, what they think about, whether or not they make noise, move, lie still, what devices they use. We learn how they feel about intercourse, their anger at not reaching orgasm when their men do, their real pleasure in giving pleasure, their paradoxical tendency to suppress anger (and their own feelings) in an attempt to win love and approval. In fact we learn many paradoxes about women from this book and one of the most moving realizations that emerges from it is the female tendency to tie the psyche into knots. Women, whether they love men or women, seem to be painfully divided about their sexuality. The heritage of a patriarchy in which children were a man's wealth and ownership of women was the means of production has apparently left women confused about what role sex should play in life when society no longer needs them as baby machines. Most of the respondents to Hite's questionnaires thought that the sexual revolution was a myth, that it had left them free to say yes (but not to say no), that the double standard was alive and well, that the quantity of sex had gone up, not the quality. Most of them labeled themselves "good girls" and told of family backgrounds in which their parents clearly communicated that sex for girls was bad and that girls who did "it" would be despised by boys. They are still longing for the one perfect love, still desiring constancy rather than promiscuity. The more sex changes, the more it stays the same. Read "The Hite Report" if you want to know how sex really is right now. Reprint Edition [distributed by Bookthrift], Presumed First printing. N° de réf. du vendeur 89507
