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.
