This is going to sound really weird, but because I never had the "birds & the bees" talk from my parents, or anyone for that matter, the first time I learned what really happens during sex was by reading my grandma's old Home Medical Journal from the 50s. Incidentally, years later when I told my mom this she said that's also how she learned about sex. I was about 13 at the time I started reading it.
Anyway, I remember the book saying that for the most part women had sex to please her man and that the man got much more pleasure from sex than did the woman. I also have heard that at one time a woman who seemed to enjoy sex (or at least admitted it) was commonly called a wh0re or a slvt.
My question is: I don't believe medicine knew THAT much less about the female anatomy than they do now, that they could ever really think that women get most of their pleasure from sex knowing that she's pleasing her man, and that's about it. I mean for instance the book mentioned the ****oris and how sensitive it was and how pleasurable it was to the woman when it was touched. They HAD to realize that women could (at least had the potential to) derive at least as much physical pleasure from sex as men. Did people ever really believe that women just did it because it was their "duty"?
How did that notion come to be, and how has it changed so much since then? Actually it probably would have been better for me if I had lived back then, because women were far more subservient and dependent on men, so they didn't have all these demands like they do now. And I probably could have had my pick from women back then, as long as I had my own place and had a car. I probably wouldn't even need to have a personality because I think society didn't consider it as important that women were happy in their relationships back then.
Well just thought I would throw that out there and see what you guys had to say about how things were then, and how different they are today, and how they got that way.
