Key feature of sexual revolution is the large-scale publication and commercialization of details that were once secret. Sexuality has been trivialized. The interesting thing about this is that exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.
Aura of the mysterious is a minor perversion that a couple shares. A fetish that one of the two partners finds arousing, or a particular sexual scenario. Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.
Perhaps the couple got married at 25 and now they're 45 and this is an option. And if a couple is still together, or perhaps finds its way back together, I like to say that it's forever. They belong together, it's a good fit, it's the right pairing. It almost gives me goose bumps.
The social problem is that we haven't come up with any alternative models. Our culture hasn't developed an ars erotica. Think, for example, of conditions in India or in Japanese culture and of how the erotic has been cultivated there. They're not as clinical and rabbit-like as we are.
Sexual desire declines after four to seven years. That's been proven.Because it's the most compatible with our spiritual origins. Father, mother, small family - that's the way we've developed our souls, the way we've become, and the way we feel safe, protected and loved.
The things that could be derived from the sexual sphere - happiness, endless fun and the end of capitalism - were grossly overestimated. The symbolic overglorification was downright unbearable.
The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual "deviants," particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.
Internet sexuality shows that we're becoming more and more self-involved. I'm talking about self-sex.
Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.
For people who are desperate and searching, sexuality on the Internet offers an incredible release.
I'm reminded of a female patient who was particularly aroused by the shape of her husband's shoulder. And this hint of perversion should ideally remain a secret for both partners.
It's important for a couple to talk about their sexual preferences. On the other hand, the aura of the mysterious should be preserved.
Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.
With an intelligent couple, it ought to be possible for the husband or wife to look for satisfaction outside the relationship - while always taking the partner into consideration, meaning acting openly but still discreetly.
I maintain that we are still a largely ignorant society when it comes to sex. We speak incorrectly and superficially about sexuality. And when you talk about it too much, you run the risk of destroying its mystery.
There are many options in a marriage. If the couple has been together for a certain amount of time and has a certain amount of liberalism or life experience, it could be the kind of relationship in which one partner ventures into the occasional affair, which is then forgiven. This only happens every 13 years on average, but it obviously does occur.
Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.
The sexual revolution of the 1960s was mostly a movement of young people. I felt that the so-called "free relationships" were overrated.
Sexual desire declines after four to seven years. That's been proven.
I will always be referred to as a theorist, but I was only a fellow traveller with a degree.
The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century.
Good sex can be anything, including dirty.
When it comes to sexuality, people like to tell lies. It's only when it comes to money that they lie more.
Just go to an auto show, and you'll see all the signs of sexual arousal in the men: shiny eyes, tremors, sex flush. An acute example of the need for professional sex research.
We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential rapists and abusers.
