To the Editor:—The newer findings concerning physiology of the pubococcygeus muscle strike at the very roots of the conclusions implied by the Kinsey report. Even if the statistical data were unassailable, Kinsey's interpretation is based on concepts that have long been controversial. This applies particularly to the question of vaginal and clitoral orgasm. I believe, as many others do, that research in the physiology of the pubococcygeus muscle has produced overwhelming evidence in favor of the existence and importance of vaginal orgasm.Kinsey stresses the subject of conditioning, especially in relation to premarital experience. Obviously, if conditioning emphasizes clitoral stimulation, the problem of future satisfactory sex relations is aggravated. I believe, if this fundamental error in Kinsey's understanding of orgasm is adequately exposed, considerable doubt will be thrown on the accuracy of his conclusions. The necessity for mitigating the impact of the Kinsey report on the public is illustrated |
