Document Summary

Visual stimulation- myth that women are less likely to find sexual arousal from visual stimulation (pornography etc. ). Women are less likely to talk about their interest in visual stimulation and they rank their enjoyment in pornography as less than men. Sexual arousal & orgasm-myth that women take longer to be aroused and to actually reach orgasm. Regardless of gender they have found that all genders have about the same arousal time (10 minutes) and women actually take about the same time to reach orgasm as men during masturbation. Restricted to seniors and married students only. Some students moved up their wedding days, some lied about engagements in order to be in the class. Sexual ignorance led to suffering and sexual knowledge led to happy marriages. Tharman rice was the most against kinsey teaching the class. Began collecting sexual history of students-case studies. Kinsey left his teaching position & continued to study sexology.
