JANUARY 9. 19B3 A 3 Family Council Editor's Nie: The Family Coun. ell consul! of a judse. a pfcychta trlht, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor, and two writers. Earn article is a summary or an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt with by respon sible agencies and counselors. (Copyright 19113 General Features Corp.) Ethel R.-I don't consider myself a prudish wife. Mark R. - She used to be flirtatious. Now she's stodgy. Ethel R.-I'm all mixed up as to my true nature. I never considered myself a cold wom an, until Mark began to tell me about his brother and his friend and their wives. Is a wife supposed to act like a night club strip tease special ist, or like Brigitte Bardot every night, so as not to be considered frigid? We're married a little over a year. I enjoy and welcome Mark's embraces, but I don't go into a swoon o.' put on a wild act like you read .bout in those novels. I'd like to know if I'm norma'. Mark accuses me of beii on the prudish side. If so, should I change, and how? Mark R. - Before we were married Ethel was a tempt ing siren. She knew all the wiles - how to dress alluring ly, the luscious make-up, the perfumes. But now I realize that was all play-acting. It was just a tease. Since we are both highly moral people, she knew nothing intimate would .follow. She was safe. But now that the coast is clear for us, she seems to do everything she can think of to discourage the full enjoyment of married love. She clomps around in house shoes and potato sack work clothes all day, and nine times out of ten, she'll plead a headache or a cold if I try to approach her. Why such a change? Can it be that she suddenly finds me repulsive? The Council: The R.'s are the victims of know-it-all's who are really know-nothings. Prattle about other people's sex relations, the ought-to and the should and the must of it all, is merely mischievous. Yet there's no subject on which more people think they have the right to sound off. As a result, a wife who can't go wild with her husband feels guilty and decides she's "frigid." And her husband is torn between feeling cheated at having drawn an unrespon sive mate, and feeling unat tractive in being unable to arouse her as "they say" a woman should be aroused. Well, here's the lowdown, and all married couples are invited to clip this out, paste it inside their marriage man ual, memorize it if need be, to refute the above-mentioned trouble-makers. It sums up the findings of Dr. William H. Masters and Mrs. Virginia E. Johnson of the Washington University School of Medi cine in St. Louis. Healthy women, says these researchers, are vitally in volved with sex from puberty on. They are aware of them selves as sexual beings month after month, and with each sex -linked bodily change. Pregnancy gives them nine solid months of watching a sexual process unfold. So, the matter of sexual climax may be, for many of them, unim portant. They don't need it desperately, and its absence does them no harm. The main point for Ethel is to remember is that it's perfectly normal for a woman never to achieve climax and yet enjoy marital relations for three supreme satisfac tions: the comfort of a warm embrace, the feeling of be longing to her mate, the pleasure of giving him pleas ure. We hope these words will help this couple relax. They, and they alone, will ' -ork out the intimate side of their marriage to suit themselves and each other. They must close their eyes and ears to the sensationalists who sow discontent. They'll adjust to each other when they truly concentrate upon each other, heeding no voices f-om the balcony. c Court Records MKOFORO MUNICIPAL COURT Patricia Mnxinc 51oficld, expired vehicle license, $.V Thomas Lindey Lotz Jr., tm proper lane usage S10 Pauline Rnse Mane Powcri, im proper left turn, StO Jnhn Michael McCabe, expired vehicle license. $,' Joseph Leach Hrndrickson, dii obrved truffle signal. 10.
