Hite Report on Male Sexuality
After "The Hite Report on Female Sexuality", Shere Hite aims at understanding what is behind male sexuality and tries to keep pushing the same theory: intercourse is not the right and only way to define "sex".
Comparing with the female report, one cannot avoid noticing that the first work went to greater lengths to categorize sexual behaviors themselves, and one gets the impression that the thesis being pushed is something that arises naturally. In this work, there is a greater focus on the family and emotional life of men, way more than regarding sexual behaviors; also this is clearly trying to answer the question of "How do men see women?", because a lot of the questions regarding men's sexual feelings are framed in terms of "how do men experience women". To make justice to the full work of Shere Hite, these family and emotional questions from the perspective of women are explored in other books, which I think is more appropriate.
The reason why the emotional questions are explored here, in my opinion, is that, regarding men, those are the more taboo subjects, since men talk openly about masturbation. While in the women's case it was clitoral stimulation, here men's secret need for affection is the big central question. The thesis goes something like this: society tells men that the sex they should have is penetration, and this is what makes them true men. Needless to say this mindset doesn't help either women or men. Hite tries to back this up with testimony from men complaining about this pressure, and how sometimes they would like more foreplay for themselves, almost to the touching level of "Men are people too and they want to feel wanted too".
I still think that Hite presented only circumstantial evidence that men don't want to just "shove it in", but you would have to have a heart of stone not to consider this to be true. From that step to having men willingly stepping out from that role is a long jump. Still, it is enlightening to read that men feel oppressed by this.
Ultimately, I think that considering a world in which men want generally more from women than just "masturbating inside them" frees both men AND women, as it would allow for women to express themselves more freely too.
A honorable mention for the sections of "men having sex with other men" and "sexuality of older men", as they represent the least often honestly heard voices.
4 starts because there are a lot of topics covered but not with the depth that I was expecting.
