David Reuben’s book was moralistic, homophobic, and looked at the broader sexual connections. It discussed Helen Kaplan, Rosemary Basson, and Sigmund Freud. I find it easiest to relate to Rosemary’s perspective on sexual relationships. She talks about intimacy and the value of long term relationships. However I think you need some intimacy to have a meaningful sexual experience. In my experience I find sexual encounters useless if they involve no intimacy, or affection, and I avoid these encounters because they are self destructive.
I find it hardest to relate to Sigmund Freud’s psycho sexual development theory. I do not think a clitoral orgasm is immature because the clitoris is the only part of the body designed specifically for pleasure. I also do not believe that women have penis envy at all. That doesn’t make any sense. If there is penis envy then there must also be vagina envy, and I doubt any guy would want a vagina unless he was transgendered. Vaginas bleed and push out babies, and penises are just plain ugly.
Finally I think masturbation is a healthy part of being an adult and it is a release of built up tension as well as a sense of empowerment. If people had sex every time they were sexually frustrated the world would be very overpopulated.
