Women Rap [not that kind of rap] About Sex →

“Why this obsession with frigidity and orgasms? Frankly, I get bored with the subject.”

“Too much Wilhelm Reich going around.” (Disgustedly) “All these books and manuals about women written by men.”

“Well, I know I’d give up an orgasm in a minute for some good lovin’. Orgasms aren’t all there is to it, hell no.”

“You know, despite what they may, I believe it does take emotional involvement. And with the present situation…”

“At the risk of sounding naive…I’ve been listening to this for an honor and no one has mentioned love.” (Ferocious laughter)

“Love?”

“God, if I waited to fall in LOVE I’d be climbing the walls”’

“Yeah, forget love. If you even just like him…”

“Forget like. I’d be happy if I could only respect the guy a little bit.

“Respect — forget it. If you can even talk to him at all, you’re lucky.”

“Even just small talk. About the morning orange juice.”

“If you can even stand to wake up next to him..”

“…can stand having his head on your pillow”’ (A shocked silence)

“Do you realize what we’re saying? Not only have we been sleeping with guys we don’t love, but with guys we positively can’t stand.”

“What are we doing it for?”

From New York: The New York Radical Women, 1968.
