SIX MZDTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, January 22, 1958 Science Study Shows Alcoholics Lacking Interest in Sex Life By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) The first scientific study of the sexual be havior of the human alcoholic reveals 'that they are as much mixed up in this field as in any other. Dr. Jacob Levine, associate clinical professor of psychiatry, Yale university, found that they didn't have much sex life, gener ally speaking. By and large, he reported, male alcoholics were unrespon sive to women and were not at tracted to them, and female alco holics were unresponsive and not attracted by men. "It was also found," he said, "that a large proportion of the male alcoholics came from homes with an overpowering and con trolling mother, upon whom they were greatly dependent, and a passive and distant father to ward whom they felt hostile." Unlike Dr. Kirisey's celebrated ROBERT S LEE! DPTDMETBIST 309 EAST BTH ST. .

Special attention to children's eye problems. studies of male and female sex lives, Dr. Levines' study of alco holic sex lives was statistical ra ther incidentally. Instead it was based on the medical records of alcoholics sufficiently advanced to require treatment. These rec ords were of 79 alcoholics who came to the attention of the Con necticut State Commission on Al coholism. Low Alcoholic Frequency Of these 79, 63 were men and 16 were women and they rang ed in age from 22 to 51. Using the word which Kinsey popular ized, "frequency," - Dr. Levine found that the usual alcoholic frequency was extremely low. But "even more convincing were the attitudes expressed by these subjects toward sex," he said. Generally, these attitudes were flatly negative. He noted that many people think alcohol increases the sex drive, but without having any evidence that it does. He was struck by the fact' that 70 per cent of his male alcoholics pre ferred the society of other males and "the female alcoholics seem to be. either afraid of or hostile to men." 'In some relatively few cases, alcohol did seem to increase the sex drjve, he found, but at the same time it reduced sexual capability. Of the 16 womenfive were promiscuous yet all five were basically unresponsive. Eight of the 16 shunned men. "Aside from the immediate ef-,j fects of alcohol, there is the problem of the influence of its long-continued excessive use up on sexual behavior," he said in his report to Yale's Center of Studies on Alcohol. "But the most important assumption in this connection is that one of the primary motivations for alcohol addiction arises out of deeply rooted sexual conflicts." The results of his studies were Local Men Plan To Attend Short Course Ray Hubbell, Jackson county weed supervisor, and L. A. Perry, in charge of county spray rigs, will be in Corvallis Jan. 30-31 and Feb. 1 for the fifth annual short course for region agricultural sprayers and dust ers. Others from this area are expected to attend. Between 300 and 400 ground and air operators will attend the course, which was planned by the state department of agricul ture in cooperation with Oregon State college. . Speakers will include John Neace, Phoenix, Ariz., who will talk on public relations; R.- E. Dake, chief of general safety with the Civil Aeronautics Au t h o r i t y, Los Angeles; and Charles Branstetter, Sacramen to, who will discuss the import ance of state agricultural avia tion associations. New state legislation affecting operators will be developed by Frank McKennon, plant division chief of the Oregon department of agriculture, and federal leg islation will be discussed by a panel moderated by Dr. Paul O. Ritcher, OSC. A second panel of OSC specialists will discuss re cent developments in agricul tural chemicals. Separate ses sions for ground and air opera tors will be held. Ray Kelso, department of agriculture, will supervise applicators' state examinations. "consistent" with psycho-analytic findings regarding these "deeply rooted sexual conflicts." These findings are "that the alco holic has a basic homosexual problem. Addiction' to alcohol is presumed to be one way of deal ing with this conflict, which -is largely unconscious," he contin ued, "Thus it may be that in the al coholic ... diminished interest in the opposite sex springs from a drive for relations with a part ner of the same sex. This, of course, cannot be gratified or ev en tolerated, and is therefore repressed." Look to the Future!

As We Live New Husband Poses Problems for Friends In friendships, as in all other human relations, a person can. go just so far and no further. (Q) "I have a friend whom I have known ever since we were girls. I always looked upon her as one oi my best friends. She was a per son I could al ways count on in an emergen cy, as when one of my chil dren was sick or when my mother, died. Dr. Hurlock Her husband died two years ago and she, re married several months ago. We have always visited back and forth at each others' homes and our children have, always play ed together. Her new husband does not seem to understand children and speaks sharply to her children and to mine. Now we are not invited to come io her home anymore and she al ways has an excuse when I ask her io.come to my home. What can I do? I don't want io lose her friendship?" Mrs. R.G. (A) You have done all you can do except, perhaps, asking her what is 'the matter. It should be fairly obvious to you that your friend's new husband does not want her to keep up her friendship with you, for some reason or other. , ' If you asked her to come to your home during the day, while her husband is at 'work, you and she might be able to keep up your friendship, even if your husbands are not around. If she is a true friend, she will not want to give up her friendship with you, even if her husband does not enjoy being with you and your family. Wants To Avoid Friction You must realize that your friend naturally wants to do things to make her new-husband happy and to avoid "friction in the home. If he does not like or understand children, your friend doubtless has plenty of problems at home without add ing to them by visiting with people who also have children. The new husband may not want the confusion of a visit .where there are children; You cannot go all the way, even with an old and trusted friend. If your friend must choose between her friendship By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. with you and peace at home with her new husband, it is obvious what her choice will be. Nothing you can do will change her decision in this matter. ' (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.)
