All language subtitles for Sexual Freedom in Denmark

in the beginning

god created man in his own image

male and female created even

and they were both naked the man and his wife

and were not ashamed

maleness and femaleness

the sexuality of humans

is a divine gift of highest importance

according to every recorded religion

this is Copenhagen capital city of Denmark

4 million people in a happy industrial society that

since the nazi occupation from 1940

to 1945

has improved its economy to one of the most stable

and prosperous in the world

the scandinavians after their Chile winter months

are famous for wholehearted

enjoyment of springtime pleasures

they have outgrown the taboos that made

human bodies the only

product of all nature

to evil to look upon

today

the people of Denmark are trying a bold experiment

in sexual freedom

they have exchanged fear and superstition

for acceptance and

rational knowledge

they have abandoned censorship of erratica for adults

we shall compare

the status of sexual knowledge in Denmark today

among the ancients and another modern societies

since the end of erotic sensorship

danish life goes on of course

without any spectacular visible change

perhaps there is a slight increase of affection and

expression but business continues as usual

and the youth here in Copenhagen

have the same interests

as in every modern city

the latest dances to the latest music

as in clothing

jewelry and arab preoccupy young people everywhere

obsession with sex is apparently a product of scarcity

for one

would hardly accuse these young days of being sexy

we're now right in the middle of Copenhagen

on the busy street to the walking street

destroy it on a busy Saturday afternoon

we will try to make an interview with

people here about what we've talked about in this film

is a young lady

may I talk to you

would you come over here

do you speak English

little bits

how old are you

eighteen years old

eighteen uh

do you mind if I ask you a few questions about sex

no you're welcome

do you and

your friends thinks it is correct and right to have

sex before marriage

yeah all my girlfriends and so I think it's okay

I mean

everybody in the school is having sex before merits

and I love them merits

you think it's okay

now what do you do to prevent from getting fragment

well we get some best control pills here

but it's still not as easy as it should be

because some of the guys

doctors find them too young and

so they lie about the eight and all that

but we hope it's

we're hoping that it's getting easier

now karen

what would happen if you really got pregnant

what would you do then

well that's a big problem yet

because we don't have a legal a watch in here

so we gotta go to the east countries

except if the gas is very young you could

probably take a trip to

Poland maybe

yeah something like that

no more than east countries

they got some special kidneys for that over there

but I mean that's

still very silly it should be legal over here

now can what do young people your age

do think about all the porno material

the magazines

new magazines and porno

magazines laying around in Copenhagen

what do you think about that

wow I mean that's okay too

it's mostly for the older pupil but

it's okay

it doesn't mean a thing to you

well not for me

but I mean it should be there if somebody needs it

well thank you con we have to go on

thank you for talking to us and have a nice day

pornography is no longer forbidden fruit

or novelty to danes

so that demand is greatly reduced

now emphasis has shifted to the tourist trade

here among other ordinary businesses

are the stores called porno shops

everything in written or pictured erratica

implements and apparel

can be seen and bought in these shops

they were not freed from legal control however

without due to liberation

a long study by the

permanent law committee

of the danish parliament revealed

that none of the experts consulted

psychologists psychiatrists sociologists

criminologist educators

have seen any case where

pornography cause damage to an individual of any age

brightness of their decision was born out by

quick results

a university of Copenhagen

survey of danish police statistics shows that

sexual offenses fell 29 % in 1967

having steadily declined since 1962

these facts helped convince the danes that

pleasures derived from the senses

are everyone's right

so long as they bring no injury to others

the open production of pornography might begin

a much needed refinement of erotic art

better talents will turn to the field again

now that it is restored to respectability

what you see here

is one of the studio

where they make

odd films and photos for newt magazines in Copenhagen

Denmark

the photographer

is actually a well known fashion photographer

and we'll have an interview with him

and one or two of the girls in a moment

okay let's have a friend

as you can see property shows himself

you know I'm shooting some newt pictures actually

a film at the moment

is that what you would consider

one of the film

that is what I would say at the moment

who's considered as pornography here

was still I I believe in pornography

good pornography

more like art

I mean the all great cat pornographine in

in their way of living all day

so well you know

having this kind of stuff you know that they

they couldn't say there was anything wrong with it

so you consider an art to make a good point of film

definitely yeah I would say so

you believe that freedom of sex is good for mankind

oh yes definitely

my personal opinion it is it can't be free enough

thank you freddie

of course I'm not supposed to be in this film

but we would like to ask a few questions

you how old are you

twenty three

twenty three years old

what are you doing for a living this job

no I so close

you so close yes

and

you you couldn't possibly make a living doing this only

no no

and what about you

do you make a living from doing this job yes

you do how long time did you oppose as a new model

why do you do that

because you like it or because of the money

the post of the money and they like

how much money do you make

I make when I'm with a boy I make 500 crowns

and if you are alone in the film

how much do you make then

alone I make 300 crowns

300 crowns will you

take any offense

being with a man do you think this is perfectly okay

you do not mind

I do not mind

do you like it

on I don't know sometimes

is there any of

youladies who are

engaged or married to a boyfriend or have a boyfriend

oh yes yes I have

you have a boyfriend what does he think about your job

you think it's okay

have you talked to him about it

does he post in a note also maybe

and danish I will have to translate a question here

and he makes the same

type of money as you do doing this

okay any other of you who are engaged or married

yes I am

what do your boyfriend think of it

he don't like it

why do you do it then

come on

for money there's one question I would like to ask

all of you is here

what do you think about

sexual intercourse with a man when you are very young

how how old should a girl be

before she has an affair with a man

and who it is

do you think whether he is you or he is in love

yes I think

do you think you mean that when he is in love with you

and you are in love with him

it's okay if you go to bed with each other

and how old do you think you should be

before you go to bed with each other

oh it's very difficult to add

because I mean

somebody who is 12 or

13 they are much elder and

other times you can be 17 and you're much younger

how young have you been before you had

sexual intercourse with a man

I was 16 years old

and you think this is novel in Denmark yes

yes

thank you very much

let us look back to the cradle of civilization

as historians call those fertile and temperate

mediterranean lands

we can obtain valuable lessons in life from

ancient architects

philosophers and mathematicians

in the field of sex ii

there are helpful insights to be gained

many civilizations outside our

current european frame of reference

have looked upon sex as central in life and religion

and upon human love as necessary invaluable art

that needs to be carefully cultivated

in other eras however

man's achievements have been buried and forgotten

while dark ages of ignorance prevailed

the citizens of Denmark decided

that open circulation of ideas and information

is essential if human sexuality

is to be advanced to the same modern level

as other sciences

in India a

golden age of sexual awareness is represented by the

fabulous sculptured love temples

conorak

on india's east coast is one of these constructions

dating from the 12th century

the basic religions of the east

exalt virtue and skill in the pursuit of all

three of the major divisions of human effort

dharma the spiritual

arthur

worldly achievement and comma

sensual appreciation

union of the sexes is both a

pleasure sharing and a symbol of holy creation

the fusion of

matter and energy represented by the male and female

principles

the serene and joyous freedom

portrayed in the sculptures is characteristic of

highly developed civilizations

through the ages

indian society at the time of the temple's creation

is described in history as being prosperous

happy and ruled by liberal attitudes

apparently

similar to the conditions that prevailed when

ancient Egyptian and grecian

cultural output was at its richest

the wave of freedom however

gave way to official repression later

victorian british influence was taken to heart so much

that in recent years not even

kissing could be shown on india's movie screens

in the sculptures and

in indian paintings and literature as well

it is evident that major artists involve

themselves in the erotic subject

color

composition

and attention to detail compare favorably with works on

other themes by the same artists

they apparently considered their labors in reproducing

scenes of love

well spent not in any way degrading

to experience and gift to others

the sensual enjoyments

was recognized as one of the worthiest

purposes of earthly life

the 10th century carvings of the sun temple at kajiraho

repeat the concept of celebration

of life's fertile principle in all its varieties

this most complex

scene is thought to illustrate a ritual orgy

of tantric yoga devotees

erotic art also was used for instruction in techniques

as well as for pure decoration and inspiration

the kamasutra of vozjayana

well known to westerners

is one of many sex manuals of that epic

which were

sometimes available in carefully illustrated editions

the Chinese ii

accepted and revered the sex force in ancient times

cultivation of this force was

basic to the taoist doctrine

with everything in life significant for its yin

female or young male aura

frequent practice of oral genital sex

was probably based on the idea of direct in cake

of those valuable essences which the writing stated

flow from the mouth

rests and genital organs of an aroused lover

Japanese erotica seems to have been more worldly

art was practiced for its own sake

independent of religion

and the erotic was as

natural a part of artistic output

as it was of everyday life

typified by the portrayal of a lady

complementing her daughter

on her kimono

while at the same time

she and her husband are engaged in intercourse

western artists to praised arrows in their works

until a kind of sexual dark age came over europe

sex slanted art

from the victorian

era onward reflects a

twisted use of the procreated gift

the German philosopher niche said

christianity has given a draft of poison to arrows

he isn't dead

but has degenerated in vice

coinciding as it did with imperialist

and missionary ventures

the european chastity belt

syndrome was inflicted on much of the world

along with clothing the common cold

syphilis and firearms

ordinary physical pleasures were suppressed

so the mighty tide of sexuality found

extraordinary channels

from sadism to come stockery

countless deviant forms of sex were generated

then came industrial revolution and a wind of change

new voices were raised in the support of honesty

segment freud contending that

sex should be brought into the open

and examined frankly

george bernard shaw's words

the first condition of

progress is the removal of censorship

and margaret sanger in america

willing to endure

public scorn and jailing to emancipate women

from the rule

of sexual ignorance and uncontrolled breeding

modern newtism

as an organized activity

had its beginning in the early nineteen hundreds

the idea justified by health arguments

seems to have caught on first in Germany

nakedness had not been strongly tabooed in scandinavia

so there was little need for advocates to organize

breding

through europe and to the English speaking countries

nudism helped more and more participants to rediscover

the sensuous delights of being bare

additional millions of non nudists

were affected indirectly

news reporters and natureist publishers

soon had the story available

for anyone who wished to learn

and maybe to try it out at home

in response to sensors

the question was logically raised

if human bodies are either a divine creation

for the highest product of evolution

what is the harm in seeing what they look like

and what they do

as she makes her sip

humanize

have forever delighted in the physiques of other humans

the history of art

proved this true during periods of freedom as well as

in repressive times

after half a century

natureists were secure

enough even to hold large scale beauty contests

perhaps in their only genuine form

a girl who enters such a contest in the raw

does have reason to feel

that she has competed more honestly

than her sisters under their suits

barriers of censorship

were gradually lowered with help from the nudists

artists and publishers

the eye catching power of sex seemed to work

for any advertised product

any buying public in the world

and every medium of communication

two magazines from Denmark

finally ruled not obscene by the american appellate

court marked the completion of a three

decade struggle in that country

toward accepting nudity with frank

sexual connotation

since total nakedness first broke

through the United States censorship curtin in 1940

controversy has been especially turbulent there

differing few points are

well represented in the broad variety of american

cultural backgrounds

sex and literature of all kinds

became freer during the same period

no longer is it

necessary in america

to print erratic passages in latin

or to restrict them to expensive collectors editions

by the 1960s unclothed bodies could be portrayed

they could be shown in action

and they could even be seen brushing each other

bare skin was preeminent as artistic subject

medium and basic premise

it was presented on paper on the screen and in person

and we began to realize

that we had little to fear

from acknowledging ourselves physically

a new

breed of scientific investigators

took advantage of the revolution in physical honesty

Dr Kinsey had found 86% of males

and 50% of females interviewed by his group

willing to report their premarital sex experiences

other teams

the doctors crownhausen and masters and johnson

continued this vital work

they documented the actual processes of sex

establishing a scientific basis for the numerality

once again people

could face their own

sensuality without worrying that masturbation

might make them insane

that sexual desire was shameful

or that the region between neck and knees was indecent

Dr Kinsey himself expressed his ideal in these words

the institute's step gives convincing proof

that the more one knows about sex

the richer more satisfying and more stable his

or her sex life is likely to become

yeah part of the fort morgan

one of denmark's

or copenhagen's

leading photographer's models is dart franson

21 years old she's also miss Denmark

maybe we may interrupt for the session

dorit may I talk to you for a moment

please

you're born in Copenhagen dorrit

yes I am

and you are hold

I'm 21

are you a freezing dorrit

oh yes

are you engaged

yes I am engaged

how long have you been engaged

I have been engaged for 60 years now

when did you first have an affair with a man

when there was nearly 18 years

do you think this is normal

in Denmark that

the girls have their first affair around 18 years old

no it's absolutely not normally not longer

it's about I think 13 14 15 years

you may turn around to the camera door so

we made it down

should we if it's not too cold

did you

take lessons in school did uh

were you taught about sex in school by teachers

yes I was

talking about that

it started when I think it was 13 or 14 years old

they start teaching us in that

and did your parents agree

to the fact that you were taught about sex in school

where how old were you at that time

I I said told you about I think for you know 14 years

well they liked it very much I think

your mother she thought it was a good idea

that she didn't have to tell you

or can she tell you or did she tell you about sex

when you were

younger no

she was trying to tell me

but she was a little bit nervous

so leave it to the school

do you think it is perfectly okay that it

is easy to get whole of films and magazines with sex

I have nothing against sex life

not at all

if you understand to do it well

because sex

cannot be too much if it is on the right way

now have you discussed that question with

friends of yours

you are the same opinion as

the people you are surrounded by

I think so yes

my friends who have been talking about that

and be quite sure

in america the situation as a whole is still undecided

many americans feel like miss friends and

and her friends

that sex is better the more you know about it

the topless phenomenon in the United States

grew out of an urgent appetite

apparently to see and know the sexual anatomy

vicarious enjoyment of sex in company or alone

might not be the ideal

but the belief that it is harmful is out motive

as more and more americans realize this

they have forced the issue of what may be legally shown

nude scenes in movies

had been selling tickets since cinema's beginning

to supply the demand

some filmmakers

drop the pretenses of plot and dialogue

the notorious o seven

exemplifies the ultimate in these low budget pictures

beginning as an arcade peep show

filmed in black and white

o seven was a judged obscene

until the rulings of local

courts were appealed

to the United States supreme court

by this time higher court judges were being

convinced by the findings of the researchers

that enjoyment of erotica

is no more antisocial

than birdwatching or stamp collecting

just as in Denmark

none of the psychologists and psychiatrists

in an american survey of thousands

reported any case of antisocial sexual behavior

in which pornography was a cause

86% of them agreed that crusaders

against pornography are often motivated

by unresolved

sexual problems of their own

after all the american founding statesman were right

to include in their constitution these words

congress shall make no law

abridging the freedom of speech or of the press

the higher court's finding

in favor of o

seven paved the way for a new genre of american films

their utter simplicity

has been an inspiration to the cinematic avant garde

forthright camera techniques like this were perhaps the

start of the verity style

and directorial forcefulness is apparent as well

the actresses were truly overnight stars

like their stapled sisters in the magazine centerfolds

they are intended to look like just

any other girl next door

not like hardened professionals

la la la la la

la la

even the girl next door

finally gets out of her negligee

as america with similar hesitancy

sheds her sexual intolerance

in live display of nudity

the american scene continued stormy

club owners dancers

and their patrons were offered

encouragement by their supreme court's rulings

which state for example

this right to receive information and ideas

regardless of their social worth

is fundamental to our pre society

yet the hundreds of american

local governments continued having their say

repeatedly forcing the performers

or their employers to defend their toplessness

bottomlessness

or alleged suggestive movements

filmmakers

proceeding to gradually more erratic scenarios

beat the same problem in the United States

like a book or an auto

a movie of two girls bathing

might meet New York standards

but fail the test in Iowa

freedom is progressing however

and the question of what will come

next makes an absorbing study in itself

beyond the showy population of I am curious

by the more exotic frontiers of sexuality

they are under exploration

already by artists in every medium

varied combinations in sexual practice

are as old as life itself

informed

opinion now holds that supplying sexual fantasies

for audiences in this way

offers a harmless outlet

instead of the antisocial behavior

that some spectators might otherwise commit

at least for the individual's private enjoyment

a 1969 supreme court decision on hardcore pornography

might be of lasting effect

stanley versus Georgia established that

what

a state has no business telling a man

sitting alone in his own house

what books he may read

or what films he may watch

with us now we have a well known danish psychologist Mr

Oh London

mister London could you tell us a little about jOhn

jOhn

yeah I was a collegeist at the

intitute of clinical psychology

at the university of cottonhagan

I'm a therapist and an educator on the younger side

collegist

as a psychologist I could imagine that you couldn't

help consider the changes of sexual fever and

census

well

as a psychologist

also as a human being of course I can

avoid considering

but I consider it more as a symptom

as a symptom of

quaint freedom in this society are

less strict rules and arms

because we focus with more interest on this subject

because it has

suffered from the conspiracy of silence

previously the society

has expected and increased in fine rates

with freedom of sex

what is your command on that

well

there has been

no increase

to the country there has been a decrease

do you think that there or is it known whether

this decree is in 6th grades

has affected

the younger people more than the older or opposite

especially the younger

as a psychologist

do you think that there is a greater evil

to repression against sexual freedom than to allow

we know that the consequences of the

repression of sexual life

among others are restricted

and sets on sets factory sexual life

we're not trying out

more freedom

in sexual life

and as far as I can see

at least

the next generation will take advantage of it

because it's not enough problems

but why not give it a try

thank you very much mister

London has been most interesting

to talk to you

what is up seeing destruction and death

or love and tenderness

obscenity by dictionary definition means simply

offensive to the senses

the atrocities of war

poverty starvation and violence

must be defined as obscene

for these are truly filthy disgusting and repulsive

the word kill is probably the most repulsive disgusting

for letter word of all

why then his depiction of love

sometimes considered obscene

if the will to live is natural to man

then persons who would rather look upon

violent destruction than life enhancing sex

are seriously perverted

perhaps giving more attention to the acts and

qualities of love can change our violent tendencies

we can't say certainly that a Germany full of free

sexual expression

would have been immune to hitler's warlike persuasion

we do know that sex crimes in Denmark became

25% less frequent

after a year and a half

of uncessor derotica

censorship of sex information is now blamed for

some of the world's most pressing social problems

including overpopulation

his birth control coming into official favor too late

one year from today

70 million new people will be sitting

down at the dinner table

4 billion live on earth today

in 2008

at our present rate of growth

there will be 8 billion

sex education has become a matter of life and death

medical science practices widespread death control

but firth control along with other sex education

still is opposed in some countries

meanwhile thousands of unwanted children

suffer the horrors of abject poverty and neglect

hunger and overcrowding spawned the desperation

leading to family breakdown

disease and crime

surely these are the obscenities of our time

a particularly troublesome form of desperation

is prostitution

spending the world and at every economic level

promiscuous sex paid or otherwise

might not be a problem of practice

openly and hygienically

smallpox malaria tuberculosis

all yielded to the attack of informed treatment

and open publicity

but venereal diseases are

still an epidemic problem in some countries

because of reluctance to permit

the necessary teaching

can the world continue

to promote a morality that makes the sufferer

from the horror of syphilis

or the insidious attack of the gannaria bacteria

to a shame to seek help

we're now visiting the home

of one of denmark's prominent journalists

you would probably call her a star reporter

this is lizzie bonco

who writes for

one of the largest or the largest newspaper

and denmark extra blood

and especially about sex revolution

they see is Denmark the country of free love

without any censorship

it depends of what you mean with free love

if you mean that every

girl jumped to bed with every boy

we have not got free love

but if you mean that's harder to find a virgin

among all our brides

yes we've got free love because we

believe in sexual relationship

before the marriage

and at what age do you think this debut is

the last research showed

that

in general the girls have their first

intercourse when they are 18 years old

only a little group

start when they are fifteen years old

fifteen years is the age

of which you are permitted to make love to a girl

course some girl start before they are 15 years old

but the police very seldom do anything about it

if it is a fully developed girl

I know you have spoken to

many girls in schools for instance

yes and I have found several girls

telling about their sexual adventures

at the playground

but that of course is exception

now that involves the girls what about the boys

one third of the boys are innocent

when they are 19 years old

and only one third have had their debut

before they are 17 years old

why do you think that people in

other parts of the world

think that we are more liberal and all six attitude

we talk more open about it

and we have purposed a lot of books like this

with informations of photos

showing the happiness of sex

showing that it's nothing dirty

about sex that is natural

to kiss the sex organs

to kiss the mares

that the whole body is something natural

a danish girl

wrote a book about women's orgasm

telling that the stimulation of clitoris

was the most important thing

and that taught thousand a women

how to be satisfied

a lot of them have been simulating argasm for years

and they thought they were frigid

discussion about argasm is very important

because

if

women do not feel

pleasure

in that sexual life

they'll be frustrated and erotic

and that spoil the mary's life

I understand that this is one of the books

that is used in schools

to the 14 15 year old pupils in high school to

to tell them about six

yes this is one of the most advanced book

which has been published last year

and is used in few schools

only in few schools because it is so invert advanced

for first time it shows the erected organ of a boy

and a close up of the clitoris of a girl

it even tells about masturbation technique

this photo for instance shows the honesty

and the sexual relation

here you see a boy laying relaxed on the bed

while the girl is preparing herself with a diaphragm

and that shows that it's natural

to use anti conceptional

do you think that the younger people

that the teenagers today will benefit fully

from the information

they have today

or will only the next generation get the full benefit

I think that even our teenagers would have a chance

to benefit because

already now they talk more open about it

I've heard

teenagers had a frankly discussion about orgasm

we think

then if we have got less regulations

we will have less frustrations and more happiness

then just how much are you allowed to teach

we are allowed to tell them a course of the

biological side

of the sex life and about anticonception

unfortunately we are not allowed to teach them

sex technique

and the groover people

including myself think it's too bad because

you can only have

a happy sex life if you know something about sex

and we should teach them how to please each other

we should tell them

that's difficult to start a sex life

that you can't

expect a beautiful orgasman every time

at least if you are girl

and

that

you must have experience

before you really get the feeling of being happy

and of course we much teach them

that there's a difference between boys and girls

what is this uncensored education and sex

as available in Denmark

it begins with reproductive physiology

inside the mature female

during each menstrual cycle

the ovary releases one of the many

thousands of egg cells

stored there since infancy

after it bursts forth

whip like extensions of the walls of these organs

produce currents in the surrounding fluid

which move the egg mass toward the uterus

by way of the fallopian tube

it is here that the egg or ovum

becomes accessible to the male sperm

and the meeting without which a new life cannot develop

while the ovum

contains all the hereditary programming of

the female individual

each sperm cell of her mate carries his characteristics

the sperm

produced in billions each month in the testicles

also have the factor

that determines male or female offspring

they are given

access to the ovum when the man and woman mate

and

only one of the hundreds of millions of sperm present

succeeds in penetrating the oven

this results in a fertile zygote

its heredity sealed for a human lifetime

soon the new life is evidenced by division of the cell

into two

in the manner of the most primitive life forms

slowly propelled toward the uterus

by contraction of the tube

the two cells further divide into four and so on

eventually

the development of the embryo will parallel all

the stages of human evolution

as growth continues

it moves in a matter of several days

through the fallopian tube

into the uterus where it becomes implanted in the folds

the embryo

then develops through stages when it compares

closely to fish

complete with gill clefts reptile

bird

lower mammal and finally attains human form

its rapid growth is nearest by the mother's body

not directly but by interchange of nutrients and

wastes through the placenta

there the separate

circulatory systems of mother and fetus mingle

the umbillicus providing the vital connection

about nine months growth is needed to satisfy

nature's requirements for existence in the outside

world then the reflexes of birth begin

after the tense first stage of labor

the infant is expelled from the uterus

by continued contractions of its muscular walls

the mothers vagina

like the lower opening of the uterus is much enlarged

returning within a few weeks to normal size and tension

well

soon comes the baby's first breath

and his umbilical

link to mother's

life support system becomes unnecessary

even at its least eventful norm

birth is an epic experience of physical sensation

and emotional trial

for mother and child

a breach birth is

one of the frequent exceptions to the normal that

occur in a large hospital

emerging backside

first is a more complicated entrance into life

but skillful guidance of the infant's body

ensures a healthy start

injury to infant or mother is avoided by

controlling the position of the body and limbs

both birth passage and baby

are distorted to the limits of their flexibility and

elasticity

the doctor's knowledge of these limits

and of the general body mechanism accounts in large

part for the high

percentage of successful births in our time

even before the delivery is completed

the need to begin breathing is provided for

protective mucus is cleared from mouth and nose

then the emergence continues

other bodily functions will soon follow in turn

taking food and eliminating

sensing the environment

eventually thinking expressing emotion and mating

all these functions are characterized

by the human need for instruction

in

contrast to instinctive performance by lower animals

again

baby gains his relative independence as the cord is

clamped and cut

the remainder attached to its abdomen

will dry and detach in a few days

while the other portion

passes from the mother's uterus

after the delivery

external anatomy of reproduction is our next concern

body confirmation of the female child is

markedly different from that of the adult woman

changes reflect her readiness for conceiving

giving birth and caring for young

the male changes much less

only added body air and subtly different proportion

distinguished male maturity

the penis becomes relatively larger in order to

fulfill its function of carrying sperm

into the female organ

it is covered by skin

similar to that of the rest of the body

except that the four skin extending over the tip

can be retracted

to expose the extremely sensitive membrane there

the foreskin is removed by circumcision

as a religious or

cultural ritual at birth

in a large fraction of males

born in the United States and in middle eastern

countries

some physicians feel

circumcision is hygienically favorable

while others consider it unnecessary mutilation

fatasticals are suspended in the scrotum in order

to maintain a temperature

lower than that of the rest of the body

this is essential to the survival of sperm

both urine and the sperm carrying seamen

are passed through the miatas

but internal valves prevent any mixing

the penis has had from infancy

the capacity to become enlarged and

erect when stimulated or spontaneously

continued stimulation of the penis results

within from a few moments to possibly hours

but averaging about 2min

in orgasm and ejaculation

the fluid ejaculated

includes various glandular secretions

which act as lubricants and as a carrier

for the hundreds of millions of sperm

all of which amounts typically

to less than a teaspoon full

female

genital organs are almost entirely inside the body

their external portion is the volva

its appearance changing from childhood to maturity

and varying widely among individuals

placement of hair

size and prominence of clitoris

flatness or fullness of outer lips

inner lips which are barely visible

or which protrude beyond the outer lips

urethro outlet near or far from vagina

maidenhead intact or broken

heavy or thin

the vagina as corridor

both for the fertilizing penis and for birth

is of prime importance

respond appropriately with lubricating moisture

hospitable confirmation and flexibility

and to transmit pleasant sensation

these are some of the routine requirements of

vaginal wall tissue

at a depth of a few inches

normally visible only by means of a medical instrument

is the lower opening of the uterus

the clitoris lies about an inch above the vagina

where the inner lips meet

as with the penis sexual excitement brings erection

in some individuals very small in others

the

erect clitoris closely resembles its male counterpart

direct manipulation or stimulation passed on

from the vagina and inner lips

results in orgasm similar to the males

no ejaculation of fluid accompanies it

but genital

tension and congestion are relaxed in the same way

with spasmodic waves of sensation

modern techniques of education go beyond books and

drawings because it has been shown

that actual photographs

motion pictures

and life examples are immensely more effective

basically intellectual rather than instinctual beings

humans have to be talked to mate

as well as to eat

hunt cleaner bodies or build shelter

one gynecologist

cites 18

couples among his patients who thought the outside

fold of the volva

was as deep as the penis should go

these otherwise

intelligent patients had been married for from

one to 10 years with

understandable failure to have children

for satisfactory results

sperm must be deposited by the penis well

into the vagina

the prerequisite of physical arousal

including erection

and lubrication of male and female genital organs

is seen to be of utmost importance

without this intercourse is impossible

difficult or painful

before actual coupling of the organs

the most commonly recommended way of

building erotic readiness is by touch

stimulation

techniques of foreplay include all

the forms of caress that can be sensually pleasing

kisses gentle bites

tongue or finger caresses

body to body contact

stroking firm pressure

squeezing

contrasts of texture temperature and suction

all of the body apparently can conduct erotic sensation

but certain parts are favored

aside from genital organs

the female breast

is one of the most sensitive of those areas

many persons even reach orgasm

by such stimulation alone

erotic sensation is so involved with the interaction

between mind and body that there is

still no absolute definition of the process

some experts maintain

that the key area of feminine sensitivity is

deep within the vagina

the most exhaust of researches however

single out the clitoris

it may often be too sensitive for direct friction

but they indicate that stimulation of the general area

including the vagina

transmits to the clitoris by way of the volver lips

sometimes both partners may wish to be active

there are also advantages in passive enjoyment

permitting one to think only of giving

while the other concentrates on receiving sensations

then exchanging roles from time to time

experiments in foreplay

can help to keep a relationship fresh

as increasing skill and responsiveness lead

to new heights of shared pleasure

partners should tell each other

what stimulation is effective

since individual preferences are widely variable

communication itself can be erotic if it is put in

positive loving language

if no words are offered

other signs of arousal can be detected

including faster breathing

perspiration flushing of face back and chest

increased fullness of breasts lips and genitals

and moistening of genitals

a fairly full measure of affection and excitement

even including orgasm

is often exchanged in this way without

risk of pregnancy

when actual coupling of penis and vagina is desired

the couple's next concern is with body positions

which bring the organs together

most modern authorities begin with this position

its face to face contact permits deep penetration and

pressure of the mans pupic bone

against the woman's clitoris area

probably

no other position gives so intimate a feeling of close

embrace

in the first instance

full weight of the man is

seem to be rested on the woman

a variation is to raise his upper torso

on his elbows or straight arms

while allowing more freedom to the woman

this also changes the angle of entry

pubic pressure is reduced

but penetration can still be deep

individual needs and preferences dictate the choice of

quatal positions

medical literature describes many cases in which

prescribing a position

a variety of positions

has solved problems of two early climax

painful intercourse

infertility or boredom

the ingredients of marital failure

with the man's knees outside the woman's thighs

the penis penetrates less deeply

and clitter a stimulation is maximized

there is also a tightening effect on the vagina

so this position would be

especially suited to the first resumption

of coitus after giving birth

raising the woman's hips on a pillow

tilt her pelvis back

penetration is deep again and at an upward angle

theeffect can be increased still more

if the woman raises her thighs over the man's back

there is now less pressure on the upper cliteral area

and more on the lower entrance to the vagina

holding her knees inward

by gripping her ankles is

another way to tighten the vagina

while permitting deep penetration

all the men above

positions are inadvisable during later pregnancy

unless the woman places herself at the edge of a bed

where the man can kneel or stand without

pressing on her abdomen

positions will advise their patience

about specific precautions during pregnancy

2nd general division of positions as the woman above

with most of the freedom of movement transferred to her

she can suit the motions to her requirements

changing depth and angle of penetration

all these variations

can be very exciting

as the man can see

and caress the woman's body as she performs her

highly erotic movements

it is also a relatively restful position for the man

who may be overtired

the woman's posture does not promote conception

because

seaman tends to flow out of the vertical vagina

it is however

a highly valued opportunity for the woman

who wishes to be active in coitus

her control of angles and movements makes this

another position that is convenient for the expectant

mother

a similar position may be taken on an armless chair

the vagina again is approximately vertical

with the depth and angle of penetration

depending on the woman's movements

she can change from long

in and out strokes

to closer rocking motions and other combinations

with help from the man

to give her adequate freedom of movement

the chair

should be low enough for her feet to reach the floor

side by side coitors can give both partners

free play and restful comfort

some couples however

find this position to constricting for prolonged use

since the woman's thigh bears much of the man's weight

and in and out movement is limited

an alternative is

with the woman on her back and the man on his side

to place one of the woman's legs over his hips

and the other between his thighs

making a crossing entry

deep penetration is now possible

as well as mutual caress and rest without undue weight

of either partner on the other

both partners hips are unrestricted

permitting an exceptional range of movement

pregnancy is not an obstacle in the crossing position

since the woman can be comfortable

and she shares in the control of penetration

both partners on their same

sides and the woman's thighs drawn up

male and female organs are

perfectly aligned for entry from the rear

the men can now add the caresses to back and neck

which are especially stimulating to some women

while breasts and clitoris are within reach as well

pressure is concentrated on the back of

the vagina at its entrance

and on the front deeper inside

a common variation of rear entry

has the woman resting on her knees

with the men kneeling behind her

deeper penetration and a different angle result

while there remains the special appeal of contact

between female buttocks

and male abdomen and thighs

the man's testicles may now add some stimulation

to the clitoris

provided that insertion goes deep enough

otherwise indirect sensations may suffice

still another rear entry posture

in which both are prone reduces penetration somewhat

the woman's buttocks now are more rounded

cushioning the man's thrusts while entry angle again

puts

maximum pressure on the rear of the vaginal entrance

the profound importance

of erotic desire and satisfaction to healthy

balanced life

has made sexual response a matter for careful study

in other countries as well as Denmark

the much discussed phenomenon

of frigidity may be blamed

on

habitual coldness towards sex from girlhood upbringing

port performance by the husband

or distracting responsibilities

a purely physical

factor in frigidity is the pubocoxidious muscle

located within the pelvis

so that it surrounds the inner vagina

rm deutsch and readers digest reports Dr

Arnold kegel's discovery that a strong pubocoxigius

usually means good sexual response

to measure the strength of contractions Dr

Kegle devised an instrument

the perenniometer

consisting of a rubber diaphragm

for placing in the vagina

and a dial to indicate changes in pressure

with the instrument

doctors can teach their patients to exercise

the muscle which helps to support

all the pelvic organs and to control urine flow

Dr Kegel'S initial concern

after insertion

the perenneometer shows a reading of basic

vaginal tension

then conscious contractions register

relative strength of the pubocoxigius

once familiar with the exercise

the patient can easily perform it

without the perenneometer

in the course of other daily activities

the pubocoxigius in proper tone

brought full sexual response to 65

% of the patients in a sample of 1000

previously unsatisfied women

performance of the same exercise

by men is said to be beneficial also

viewing erratic

films is one of the mental approaches

to solving problems of frigidity

or impotence now that erotica has been proved harmless

marital relations authorities recommend

mental aphrodisiacs of all kinds

the scientific answer

to another major problem of civilization

that of unwanted pregnancies

is the modern array of contraceptives

the rubber condom

after hundreds of years development

is a highly effective device if

carefully made and used

it is considered

a disease preventative as well as a contraceptive

in the rhythm method

a special ultra sensitive

thermometer is used to chart the woman's temperature

watching for the variation

that signals release of the ovum

efforts either four or against conception

can be based on the charted data

a rubber

diaphragm may be fitted over the mouth of the uterus

with only

slight danger that it might be displaced or bypassed

its rim has a strong spring action which

properly fitted by a gynecologist

gives fairly good protection against conception

in Denmark experts recommend its use in conjunction

with a chemical

contraceptive

jelly is one form

this might take

applied as suppositories or by

means of the inserter before intercourse

careful buying is needed to distinguish these from mere

lubricants

censorship still blocks labeling the products with

complete information

in some countries

including the United States

spermicidal

foams are used in much the same way as the jellies

with similar effectiveness

involved

preparation required with the chemical contraceptives

and having to apply them shortly before intercourse

makes them less popular than some other methods

used alone

their reliability is not as high as for example

the condom

infer uterine devices are now inexpensively packaged

with their inserters

the doctor or nurse performing the insertion

draws the device

into the inserter

straightening it

after insertion the plastic resumes its original curves

and makes the uterus unable to retain the egg cell

the thread remains outside the uterus to facilitate

checking and removal

and the device may be left in place indefinitely

if no complications develop

most recent innovation

in contraceptives is a hormonal medication

in the form of pills

taken daily by the woman

for a certain portion of each month

they make fertilization impossible by upsetting the egg

producing cycle

side effects of these pills

and another experimental type for use after

intercourse are still being evaluated

surgical sterilization

or vesectomy in the mail is a very simple operation

the sperm carrying vests is easily accessible

for cutting and tying inside the thin walled scrotum

to block passage of the female egg cells

the fallopian tubes are cut and tied or quarterized

broader knowledge of human sexuality

brings help in promoting conception too

aside from new surgical procedures

a physician may correct general health deficiencies

he may prescribe

timing of intercourse in the woman's fertile period

or he may recommend this position for coitus

with the woman's hips raised

a nearly vertical vagina ensures

maximum contact of the seaman pool

with the mouth of the uterus

the ideal of combining modern knowledge

with the age old human capacity for love

may be near to realization

in our time

society's problems disrupted families crime

mental and physical illness

all have been shown

to grow

at least partly out of deficiencies of love and sex

those basic components of life

the danish experiment including repudiation

of censorship has a message for the world

that message is enlightened sexual freedom

complete as in all democratic freedoms

as long as it does

not impose itself on other people

without their consent
