The Technique of Coitus
 

At this point, a word of warning must be given regarding foreplay. While this preliminary is usually under-extended, it can also be overdone, particularly where the woman is not disposed to interfere with what she regards as pleasurable to the male. There is a limit, of course, to a woman's excitement, and it is characteristic of foreplay that, after a reasonable period of indulgence, the female level of high emotion is reached. Since no new element can now be added to increase it except intercourse, it remains stationary. If foreplay is continued too long thereafter, the woman's excitement begins to abate and she starts to cool. This will be attended immediately by a natural diminishing of the lubricating fluid. Since intercourse is always to be preceded by devoting a certain amount of time adequately to stimulating the clitoris and vulva generally, even with the highly passionate, the hand will immediately detect a reduction in the flow of the secretion; the area begins to dry fairly rapidly. There will be a noticeable change in the texture of the moistness which, in addition to becoming less abundant, will also lose its slickness and become definitely thin and watery. The male should then enter into intercourse immediately.

This cooling is only occasional with a highly passionate woman, since it is difficult to over-provide her with indulgence. It occurs most frequently with women of lower emotional levels; since they are more speedily satisfied, excessive foreplay serves as an outlet for their emotion, and they may start cooling prior to orgasm.

When the male feels that sufficient foreplay has taken place, fifteen minutes being the minimum unless otherwise directed by the female, he can then turn to intercourse. He will discover that his partner responds to it immediately. However, there is nothing mechanical about a sexual relationship, and it is the male's habit of treating it as such which causes much dissatisfaction and may ultimately drive the wife to someone who takes it more seriously.

In developing this view, let us start with the highly passionate and consider first the impediments to their full satisfaction. We know that these women are quickly aroused and that they have the capacity to enjoy a lengthy foreplay, although it is not necessary, and to experience a lengthy orgasm. We know, too, that the male is quick to experience orgasm, which is of short duration, and quick to abate in excitement. We know further that, unless a woman is completely satisfied, the result can be irritation and even suffering, neither of which is conducive to a happy married life. It follows, then, that regardless of his feelings, capacities, or abilities, all restricted by nature, it is man's duty to satisfy his mate.

Since such a female has the capacity to enjoy a lengthy foreplay, he must sustain it. In order to do this, he must refrain from any excessive activity involving the penis lest he induce an orgasm in himself. Necessarily, therefore, he must employ largely his mouth and hands. Women in the highly passionate group are thrown into ecstasies by alternate kissing of the mouth and breast and by the hands simultaneously passing over the outside and inside of the thighs, brought up to the groin, and brought down again halfway to the knee. Only occasionally should the hands move lightly but firmly over the vulva to give the clitoris a soft but lengthy passing stroke. When the entire finger is passed over the clitoris, from tip to base, such a stroke is characteristic of the behavior of the penis. The male should vary this procedure by placing his leg between both of his partner's and rubbing it up and down over the vulva. This, of course, creates a friction upon that area, which is sensitive throughout; many women utilize this contact, leaving the penis unagitated.

In his relations with any woman, a man may employ a variety of stimuli, and can absorb much of his enjoyment from his partner's excitation and the knowledge that he is the agency controlling it. Unless she is the type to desire an early insertion of the penis or unless she has some personal procedure which she enjoys, the type of foreplay just described can be extended indefinitely.

Highly passionate women are affected by the male organ to an extent unapproached by any other type. They enjoy pressing it between their breasts, fondling it, and kissing it. With regard to the latter, it is a rare man who fails to enjoy this attention and who will not be moved to orgasm by an excess of it. A very few men, however, do not care for such intimacy. While the vast majority of highly passionate woman have an intense desire for oral contact with the penis, most will restrain themselves from a mistaken sense of decency unless encouraged by their partners, a good percentage of whom set no example from a like fear of offending the female.

There is absolutely nothing abnormal about this form of indulgence. It is a natural urge; it is engaged in by more couples than is suspected; and in Europe is a common practice. Since the lay mind associates everything of an erotic character with France, and because it is presumed to have had its birth in some remote French province, this practice has come to be known as the "French Method," although it is no more common in France than elsewhere. The prejudice against it exists largely among the lower class, whose males, unfortunately, represent the most inadequate lovers of any caste. A subsequent chapter is devoted to a discussion of this behavior.

Once a man engages in intercourse, he can, if there is no interruption in the rhythm, attain orgasm within a few minutes. But, whether a woman experiences an individual or a sustained orgasm and whether she be lowly or highly passionate, it will take her considerably longer. How much longer depends upon the sexual nature of the woman, but it is unquestionable that it will positively exceed the time of the male under any circumstances. Consequently, the husband, if he would prolong the pleasure for his partner, cannot follow his normal inclination. Obviously he must reduce his rhythm; however, since sensation for his partner depends upon a continuous flow, stimulation must be effected by some means other than the penis. The sensation of the male organ lying restfully within the vagina, while pleasurable, is not ecstatically so and will never produce orgasm by inactivity.

Should the motion be slow and deep each time the penis comes to a rest, a drop in sensation will result in the highly passionate female, who prefers it to remain constant. Unlike the lowly and moderately sensitive she can experience the sensation at a high level for a considerable length of time. It is pointless to induce a rise and fall of feeling in such a woman when she is capable of experiencing much more. There is a definite place for the "rise-and-fall" technique, but it is not the method employed in satisfying a highly passionate woman.

Even a slow deep rhythm will ultimately produce orgasm in the male, because his own pitch rises higher with each movement until it culminates in the climax. Also, his partner, in order to maintain the sensation, will herself engage in motion which affects him in any pause he may make; this, too, is likely to result in ejaculation for the male. Normally, then, he has four choices if he wishes to wring from the relationship the last measure of pleasure for his partner; he can either allow her to do all the work from an above position; he can proceed with his orgasm and thereafter force himself to continue the motion, whether with the penis or finger, until his partner is satisfied; he can delay inserting himself and stimulate her digitally both by means of the clitoris and other genitalia until she is almost satisfied and then proceed normally with his own orgasm; or he can insert himself, keep the penis at rest, and stimulate her digitally at the clitoris, making occasional thrusts with the penis until such time as he judges appropriate for his own climax.

Now these are specific methods by which any normal man, whatever his degree of control, can feel certain that he has not only satisfied his partner but has prolonged her pleasure to its fullest extent and has done it in a perfectly normal fashion. Furthermore, a man cannot adopt any other procedure and guarantee the outcome. Those husbands who find themselves hard-pressed to meet the demands of the highly sensitive group will discover that the foregoing offers a pracitcal variety of successful technique.

All other types of woman fall into one category—the individual orgasm group. At least half are sensitive only at the clitoris, and the remainder, although moderately sensitive elsewhere, are not sufficiently so to alter the problem involved or the general procedure. From the standpoint of adequate handling by the male, they represent no actual difficulty, because there is only one simple way to proceed. Also, since most of these women experience only one orgasm, and many none at all, one need concern himself solely with producing orgasm in those who have never achieved it and with increasing the number of climaxes for those who have.

It is a fact that any woman who is not frigid and is physically and mentally normal is capable of orgasm. A frigid woman is one who, while not perverted, finds the sex act disagreeable with all men. If a woman is frigid toward one man, but not toward others, she does not fall into this classification, since she is capable of orgasm with the object of her desire. In other words, if a woman enjoys kissing and being kissed and is capable of desire, she is also capable of orgasm. If she has the capacity for one, she has it for more, the number depending both upon her nature and her mood. Consequently, it is safe to assume that any normal woman is capable of .at least two, and the majority of at least three. It is also probable that the use of a proper technique can operate to further increase the number.

It has been said that there is only one simple way to proceed with women of the individual orgasm type. Since their climax is not long sustained, one must inject as much pleasure as possible in developing it. Furthermore, at least half of such women are sensitive only at the clitoris. Therefore, it is necessary for the male to direct his attention only to this spot.

Such women also have the added characteristic of being slow to arouse; this holds true even of those who can achieve more than one climax. Although they respond more rapidly to stimulation, they are relatively slow by comparison with the highly passionate. It is practicable to consider them in the same category as the others in discussing procedure.

The climax achieved by such women is of short duration. Consequently, much of their pleasure must be crowded into the first part of the actual intercourse, the development of the orgasm. This is achieved only by the "rise-and-fall" technique. Although an incredible number of women have never experienced the sensation of orgasm, it will be expedient to proceed as if the sensation of climax could be achieved by all.
Those who have attained it are familiar with the constantly rising sensation of pleasure which starts in the genital area, specifically at the clitoris and, if not interrupted, builds to the orgasm. Since the orgasm is nothing more than this sensation at its apex, even its start is naturally not without intense enjoyment. The rise-and-fall technique consists of bringing the sensation to the point just before it explodes into the orgasm, then breaking it off, allowing it to descend of its own accord, and then repeating the process either until the woman begins to cool or until she expresses a desire for the climax.

Since half the group is sensitive only to clitoral stimulation, and since the clitoris is also the strongest center of sensation in the other half, it is essential to concentrate upon this organ. Because the clitoris generally can be contacted by the penis only with the greatest discomfort, if at all, the only practical instrument with which to induce sensation is the finger, with the penis occupying a place of secondary importance as a physical stimulant and of primary importance as a mental one.

Even those women who have no sexual feeling whatever within the vagina are excited by the introduction of the male organ. Although its entrance produces absolutely no sensation, the knowledge that one of the most intimate of positions exists is sufficient to create an upsurge of passion, and an orgasm by the female under such conditions is more intense than if induced merely by the finger itself. Consequently, the female orgasm and part of the build-up to it should always take place with the penis inserted, regardless of how much pre-clitoral stimulation was induced digitally.

The proper procedure to create the greatest amount of pleasure for the female, both in length of time and intensity, is to start inducing the rise and fall of sensation exclusively by the finger. It is not difficult to determine the point just beyond which the female orgasm will occur. As sensation increases the woman begins to vibrate and to raise the genital area gradually as if to establish a greater contact between the clitoris and the finger.

Although she feels that the greater the pressure, the greater will be the intensity of the sensation, she does not realize that too great a pressure will have the opposite effect. The same pressure which induced the sensation from the beginning is to be maintained throughout. As she raises the genitals, and the vibrations become of a quivering nature, the stroking of the clitoris should be interrupted immediately, whereupon she will sink back to her original position. As soon as this has occurred, the procedure should be repeated at once; this time, it will be observed that the sensation develops almost instantaneously, that it is much stronger, and that she vibrates and raises the genital region more pronouncedly than before.

Clitoral contact is again interrupted, and a longer pause ensues. If the contact stages follow each other too closely, she will attain orgasm. The male's sole purpose is to create as many of these up-and-down sensations as possible without carrying them so far as to bring about a climax. The first pause should approximate five seconds; the second eight seconds; the third, ten seconds; the fourth, twelve seconds.

After perhaps the fifth rise, the male may allow a substantial interruption of about a minute or a minute and a half, this time allowing his partner thoroughly to subside. Thereafter he can re-initiate this routine, always watching for signs of cooling. Then, following ten or fifteen of such responses, it is appropriate to introduce the penis and engage in the conventional in-and-out rhythm which will gradually bring the male to the same stage of excitement as his partner. Should the man be the active type and should the woman be moderately sensitive throughout the vulva, digital contact with the clitoris may be abandoned. Should the woman be sensitive only at the clitoris, the man must continue to stimulate it because, regardless of the movement made by the male organ, absolutely no physical sensation will be induced in the vagina by the penis alone.

Once the man is situated within his partner, the couple may then experience orgasm as it appeals to them. The female will now feel less inclined to prolong the act, and the orgasms may be achieved simultaneously or separately, as the couple wish. Either way, such intercourse is perfect, with both attaining climax, and the woman having enjoyed a pre-period of pleasurable stimulation. Under conditions involving women of the type now being described, this is the only proper and practicable manner in which to conduct intercourse which will be certain to satisfy the female.

Digital contact with the clitoris should always be carefully maintained. This is most important, because the height, frequency, and quality of the rise-and-fall sensation, as well as the intensity of the orgasm, is completely dependent upon the character of the contact exerted by the finger. Too firm a pressure will definitely decrease the sensation, if not destroy it completely. Too light a contact, though far better than too heavy, will not develop the sensation to its fullest intensity. The contact must be firm enough to trace practically the entire clitoris from the area lying just beneath the surface to the tip.

The tip of an erected clitoris, being unprotected by its sheath, is ultra-sensitive. For that reason it may occur that a direct touch upon it will produce at times an involuntary body-jerking on the part of the female. When this happens, attention should be directed at its base and at least a half minute to a minute allowed before again attempting to contact the tip itself. Experience will develop the precise technique.

Since the intercourse has now been discussed in detail, it is well to enlarge upon a matter previously referred to, the possibility of increasing the number of individual climaxes for a woman. Any woman who is capable of one climax is capable of several, for generally a single orgasm is not too severe a drain upon the female nervous system. It does not last sufficiently long to tax it, and is not accompanied by the loss of vital fluid or the strain upon the manufacturing processes of that fluid which attends the male climax. Since the orgastic reaction of all men is practically identical, and since it varies so extensively in women, it cannot be intended that it should impose a greater strain upon some than others, but rather that it should express itself differently with different women. Regardless of the past sexual experience of a normal woman, there is gener: ally room for improvement.

This problem, of course, involves only women of low responsiveness, those whose stimulative capacities lie largely at the clitoris. It has been previously explained how to conduct intercourse properly with such a type. But it is to be emphasized that the male must delay his orgasm until he is certain that the woman has achieved her ultimate climax or that she has been sufficiently satisfied to wish to conclude the relationship. The male determines that the final orgasm has been achieved by continuing to stimulate the clitoris. If, following a minute or so of this procedure, the female fails to respond as previously, or is seized with a series of body-jerkings, he should ask her if she still experiences sensation there. If the answer is negative, the woman is satisfied.

However, there are occasions when a man will have difficulty restimulating a woman following a prior orgasm; when she will assert upon questioning that the sensation has disappeared; but when persistence on his part may result in a renewal of sensation and the occurrence of several additional orgasms. This condition usually exists in the early stages, after the second or third climax. But should it occur after the fourth or fifth, the male may conclude that the woman is satisfied, although it will do no harm to persist for another minute. It is to be remembered that clitoral stimulation should be discontinued immediately and a pause taken whenever a woman exhibits the jerking, twitching movements previously referred to.

In striving to increase the capacity of a one-orgasm woman, the male must delay his orgasm until she has experienced her first climax. This is not difficult. The relationship is conducted with the customary observance of foreplay and the build-up to the orgasm by means of the rise-and-fall technique. When he decides that the time is propitious for the first female orgasm, the male inserts himself as deeply as possible, pressing his genital region tightly against that of his partner, holding this position, and maintaining a constant digital contact with the clitoris. His object now is to bring on the female orgasm as rapidly as possible. He will observe also that the female exerts a similar pressure against him. As soon as the first female orgasm has occurred, he should discontinue digital contact at the first manifestation of the body-jerking. He must reduce the pressure of the male organ, allowing it to assume a more relaxed position in the vagina, and wait at least thirty seconds before attempting to induce a second climax.

The second and all subsequent orgasms should be developed much in the same manner as the first, but without resort to the rise-and-fall procedure. This is used only in connection with the build-up to the first orgasm. It is difficult enough to induce subsequent climaxes without placing an additional strain upon them, and all future orgasms should be brought about as rapidly as possible. The penis should again penetrate as deeply as it can, but the male should maintain an increasing pressure as if trying to enter further and further, and at the same time agitate the tip of the clitoris, with the finger moving unceasingly and as rapidly as possible. Should his partner suddenly be seized with body-jerking, he should reduce the pressure of the forefinger, discontinue the stimulation for twenty-five or thirty seconds, and then proceed as before. The second orgasm will not last so long as the former nor be so intense; the first is usually the strongest, the remainder becoming shorter and weaker, although remaining pleasurable.

In summary, the four principal and necessary elements in inducing additional orgasms above one, are to bring them on as quickly as possible, to maintain constant digital contact, to make the finger movement as rapid as possible, and to exert genital pressure against the female genitals.

Since access to the clitoris by the finger is more difficult when the genital areas are pressed firmly together, it is best to experiment the first few times with the male organ lying outside the vagina. Induce the first orgasm by digital means exclusively, maintaining the contact as long as the climax endures. When it shows a tendency to subside, allow it to do so, wait a half minute, and then repeat the process. The partner should ask if the female experiences any build-up sensation. It she does, even though it cannot be brought to an immediate climax, the couple know that subsequent orgasms are not only possible but probable, and that later relationships will produce them. If difficulty is experienced with the penis lying outside the vagina, it should be inserted. The female may need just that added mental stimulus to achieve a climax. It frequently happens that such women, while experiencing the build-up sensation, cannot be brought to a climax without the introduction of the penis, although most females can be induced to multiple orgasms by the finger alone. However, no climax will ever be as intense for a woman, although it may be for a man, as when the male organ lies within the vagina.

Notwithstanding all that has been said with respect to the lowly sensitive or those whose sensitivity is located exclusively in the clitoris, time offers a hopeful possibility to partners who are patient. It frequently occurs that after many years of constant association, a woman who previously required digital stimulation to attain a climax, may suddenly respond to the penis.

There are actually two elements concerned in this transition : technique and deepening affection. When two persons—whose life together has been satisfactory—advance in years, a strong bonding agent develops and cements their ties more closely together. Various factors influence this, of which the strongest is habit. A man who is accustomed to returning from work each evening and finding a neat wife with a pleasant smile and a warm kiss, has no reason or desire to avoid his home. In fact, he looks forward to this nightly reunion. Should he feel in an amorous mood, he knows beforehand that a period of lovemaking will be just as welcome to his wife. At least, incompatibility doesn't add to his normal outside problems.

Can the average woman see her importance and responsibility in this domestic picture? Can she see the contrast in a scene wherein a husband is greeted by an untidy, nagging shrew whose complaints begin as soon as he crosses the threshold? Can she see that it is largely up to her to keep the matrimonial ship on an even keel?

Of course, many women will rise in protest and argue, "Well, how about the duties of a husband? Supposing he arrives ready for an argument? What are we supposed to do, take it?"

Certainly. A wife is supposed to take it. If it were intended that she fight back like another man, she might as well be one. A woman was meant to be soft and flexible, not a battling Amazon. A man is attracted by a woman's gentleness; not by the qualities of a spit-fire. The world has always been too full of male hostility. That's what is wrong with it— man's inhumanity to man. Any woman who seeks to justify her participation in it, is seriously lacking in feminine virtue. During time of war a woman's role is primarily that of a comforter. No man would care to see her shouldering a rifle. It would be out of place. And her belligerence is equally out of place in the home.

It must be remembered that only in fairly recent years have women been competing so extensively with men, assuming their place in the world. And never has the divorce rate been higher. Originally, the home and the rearing of her children were her principal responsibilities. The problem of providing the daily bread belonged to the man. It was an excellent and practical arrangement. While she may have been physically tired at the end of the day, it was recognized that the physical and mental problems concerned with earning a living were the more exhausting.

Consequently, one of her wifely duties was to provide for the male comfort and relaxation. In fact, in the old world that is still the fashion, even among women of wealth and station. Basically, despite the release from drudgery brought about by modern methods, it still remains one of her primary functions. The woman who feels that she is entitled to yell back at a grouchy husband, is simply unwomanly. She is a misfit in the natural order of things.

True, it might be annoying to greet with a smile a sullen, disagreeable mate. But if she possesses the feminine tact about which she will probably boast, and forget about the philosophy of equal rights, she can manage to soothe his irritation and eventually work him around to an amiable frame of mind. A clever wife can and will do this.

Naturally, this does not refer to some surly, loudmouthed brute who immediately upon entering the house pours forth vicious abuse or slams his way from room to room. Any wife who remains with such a man for a protracted period, regardless of economic necessity, deserves whatever mistreatment she receives. Reference is made only to a husband who may be quarrelsome on occasion as the result of outside aggravations. For a woman to reciprocate will not improve the situation at all. It can only make it worse. An intelligent wife realizes this and assumes the task of improving his mood. If he is a reasonable man, she will succeed. Otherwise, she maintains a judicious silence and waits for his irritability to pass.

A home life based upon this type of womanly and wifely consideration, must eventually produce firm compatibility. As the years pass, constancy draws the couple closer and closer together until an unbreakable structure, solidly cemented with love, is erected. Meanwhile, the children are growing up, and the parents know them for another link binding the marriage even more securely. The husband reflects upon his wife's uncomplaining cooperation in the past and realizes he has been, indeed, blessed. The wife recalls his struggles to provide her with comfort and security, and is also grateful. At this point, love reaches its full maturity.

It is, now, when mutual devotion is at its highest level, that the transition previously referred to, takes place. Being a woman of a lowly sensitive sexual nature, her climaxes throughout the past necessitated digital stimulation of the clitoris, entirely, to bring them about. Her husband, properly, had always utilized this technique with the male organ inserted. Every two or three months, perhaps, he would attempt to induce his wife's orgasm by means of penis rhythm alone but never succeeded. Then, one night, for no apparent reason, the ultimate occurs. His wife attains the majority of her climaxes without benefit of digital stimulation. From then on, it becomes a fairly consistent happening, not always to be fully relied upon, but probable during four out of five relationships.

In considering the technique to be employed, it must be emphasized that complete digital stimulation of the clitoris can never be abandoned. The woman is still a member of the lowly sensitive group and will always remain one. Digital contact is vital, at least, to bring such a wife to the point of orgasm. Let us examine the procedure involved in this situation step by step.

First of all, the proper divisions of foreplay must be carefully observed with a lowly sensitive woman. As has been set down, during the first half of foreplay the husband ignores the genitals almost completely and devotes himself to the other areas of the female body. He may, however, if he thinks it necessary, lay his right leg between those of his wife, and by moving it up and down attempt to generate some friction in his partner's genital zone. He may even spread the lips of the vulva with his fingers so that his leg lays directly upon the membrane rather than the epidermis of the lips. Beyond this, there is no hand contact directly with the genital area during the first half of foreplay.

It should be mentioned also, that unless a man is left handed, preliminary love making should always be conducted from the right side of a woman. This gives the corresponding hand of the male—the hand that operates with better advantage—complete freedom.

The second half of foreplay concerns itself with digital excitation of the clitoris. During this phase, if a husband is doubtful of his wife's progress, she should be asked to tell him when she is ready to experience the orgasm. Since she knows her precise state of emotion, she usually remarks at the appropriate moment, "I can have it any time now."

Since the husband is dealing with a multi-orgasm woman (in past years, he has conditioned her to attain more than one climax), he ignores the "rise and fall" technique and inserts himself from the "man above" position. The shifting of the bodies necessary to assume this, forces him to abandon the clitoris, as a result of which his partner's emotion drops to some degree. Normally, this readjustment would have made it necessary for him to re-stimulate the clitoris, perhaps, for another minute from the new position until his wife achieved her previous level of excitation and was again prepared for orgasm. Now, however, he ignores this organ and penetrates the vagina as deeply as possible. He allows the penis to remain there, and holds both pubic regions firmly together. Maintaining this contact, he attempts to revolve the penis in a circular motion.

If his wife is ready for the transition, an increasing level of emotion that he recognizes as a new element is her reactions, clearly manifests itself. Withdrawing and re-entering slowly, he repeats the previous cycle for a second and third time. He observes on each occasion a rising tide of excitation. Then, gradually increasing the tempo to a rapid movement, he proceeds with the in-and-out rhythm until his partner experiences her first orgasm.

Since little more than a minute has transpired during this new undertaking, his own climax is well under control. Consequently, simultaneous orgasms can be experienced at the time of any of his wife's subsequent climaxes.

Following his partner's first orgasm, the husband should pause from 30 seconds to a minute before attempting to induce a second. Then, he proceeds immediately with a deep, brisk, forward and backward rhythm. The second orgasm will occur within 15 seconds and will be shorter and less intense. Thereafter, subsequent climaxes are to be brought about in the same manner and will be found to reduce themselves in strength until the maximum is reached.

The first orgasm is always the longest and strongest, varying in time from 45 seconds to l/2 minutes. Those following rarely extend beyond 15 seconds, and the pauses taken in between by the husband, become relatively longer with each climax.

As a previous chapter has explained, it is unnecessary to utilize the "rise and fall" foreplay with a multi-orgasm woman, although it is not forbidden. It is a matter of choice. But with a wife capable of only one climax, it should not be neglected. However, if a husband of the latter wishes to experiment for the purpose of discontinuing digital clitoral contact during the orgasm, he, too, should abandon the "rise and fall" technique and utilize the penis immediately. In the event he fails and must revert to his former procedure, the following modification may be introduced: while inserted, the husband, as usual, engages in digital clitoral stimulation. Upon the customary sudden, convulsive embrace he receives from his wife as her climax begins, he can discontinue clitoral excitation and utilize the rapid in-and-out motion. He may also achieve his own orgasm if he wishes.

At the conclusion, his partner should advise him whether any decrease in sensation occurred when he discontinued clitoral stimulation. If none did, the probability is strong that further conditioning will enable her to respond eventually with a minimum of clitoral excitation.

The question now arises as to why, after years of climaxes dependent upon clitoral stimulation, orgasm suddenly occurs without it. The basic element is the deepening of affection that has been taking place between the marriage partners throughout this prolonged period. As we all know, much of our sexual emotion is based upon mental excitation. As man and woman reach their peak of mutual affection, a wife feels more closely bound to her husband than ever. During the sex act, this feeling is particularly strong and translates itself into mental excitement. This added to the physical stimulation taking place in the genital area by the deep thrust of the penis, has sufficient force to increase the usual sexual emotion beyond its normal pitch. The result is that this additional mental stimulation works sympathetically upon the clitoral area, the area of sexual sensation, and upsets the normal balance of stimulation and resistance. Orgasm results. But it must be emphasized that this transition comes about only when the male and female ultimately realize that their union has been a successful one.

The suggestions laid down herein have practical value. They are specific and constitute definite and precise intercourse techniques. They have taken into consideration the sexual natures of women in general and in particular. And they are well within the capabilities of any normal husband who is interested in performing his sexual duties unselfishly and competently.
