Introduction
Humans have been having sex since time immemorial, and not muchchanged as the centuries slid by. Then in the 1960s, the Pill came out,and the sexual revolution was said to begin.
But the past 25 years, whichcoincidentally is the period when I first became well known, have seen themost major advancements. Many more women who couldn’t have orgasmsare now orgasmic.
Many older people, particularly men, can have sex intotheir 90s. People are talking to each other about their sexual needs, and as aresult, they’re more satisfied with their sex lives.
And although we’ve madeprogress, more needs to be done.First of all, millions of young people are just beginning their sexual lives.They need to be taught what to do and how to do it.
Secondly, millions ofadults are still having sex the way cave men and women did in the Stone Age.For whatever reason, the message that terrific sex is possible hasn’t pene-trated. Finally, many people are still derailed by sexual myths.
So althoughthe need for this book has lessened since it first came out, especially for thehundreds of thousands who’ve bought it here and those who purchased it inthe 26 other languages into which it’s been translated, my job of educatingpeople about good sexual functioning is not yet over.
How people learn about sex has a great deal to do with how well equippedthey are to have sex. So where did most of you learn about sex? You learned alittle bit from your parents and a little bit at school.
But because much of thisinformation was, rightfully, passed on before you were really ready to use it,it may not have meant all that much to you, and so it didn’t totally sink in.
Later on, if you had another class, you probably felt the need to act blasé, asif you knew it all, and you may not have bothered to listen.
This Catch-22 makes having good sex difficult — you get the informationbefore you need it, and you forget what you learned by the time you do needit. Or you get the facts so confused that they’re not helpful to you.
