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

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."

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. '

Rain is the main topic of con
versation nowadays, but we still
have many robins, meadow
larks, blue jays and other birds
around, chirping and singing,
which makes us feel that maybe
it isn't too bad after all and we
have' a great deal to be thank
ful for. We aren't being flooded
out of our homes, at least.
