From Sexual Happiness in Marriage: A Christian Interpretation of Sexual Adjustment in Marriage, by Herbert J. Miles, Ph.D. Copyright 1967.

Sexually, man is timed quickly. He can become aroused through sexual stimulation with his wife and usually reach an orgasm in a very short time, two minutes, one, minute, or even less time. This is normal for him. He will gradually learn to control himself, but he will always tend to be “quick on the trigger.” His wife should never say to him, “You beast, why don’t you control yourself?” She should understand him in terms of his quick timing sexually, and that God created him this way.

On the other hand, woman is timed more slowly, sometimes very slowly, as compared with a man. Her husband should never say, “You iceberg, why don’t you hurry up?” He should realize that she is not responsible for being timed slowly. He should realize that all men’s wives are just like his, and that God created them this way.

Whoops, sorry about the typo, Poe. I was a little rigid on my dirigibles this morning. Fixed now.

I love these christian sex excerpts!

I wonder why no mention of strategies guys use to slow down. Like beating off a half hour before fucking, or imagining Lou Gherig's retirement speech? I mean, isn't the point to educate young horny men?

mike 23: this 1967 xtian text is humane and accurate. i applaud it for that. ok, no actual techniques for remedy are outlined, but then i could say that about all the secular present-day lame marriage counseling i've wasted my time with too.

Well hot damn, this book is actually talking sense. Who'd have thought?

“You beast, why don’t you control yourself?” This must be the ultimate pick-up line of all time. Ever. I shall use it often. Thank you, Dominic, for providing it.

The fact that this was written in 1967, and almost acknowledges the existence of a female orgasm, makes it quite ahead of its time for churchy sex counseling.

@7 - I rather like that line... "you beast" indeed.

also the "You iceberg..." one could potentially lead to cheesy pick-up line, such as "Hey baby, how 'bout I melt your polar icecaps, causing a rise in the sea-level if you know what I mean" *wink*

I think my husband and I have just acquired new nicknames for each other.

If this was read in front of a brick wall at a place called... say, The Laugh Hole, it would be hilarious. Is there anything in that book about the differences between New York and L.A. or Seattle and Kent?
