SHAME DUPE!
John Deering was at the mercy of two crazy women in an old, creepy house. How had it happened to him? And what terrible secret lived there with them? Alex Comfort, in his study, Sex in Society, tells us: "It is unfortunate that so much which is written about early sex experience and teenage behavior is written by men and by unmarried women-for perhaps the key problem of sex education, physical, social and moral, is to give boys, who in our culture are the more sexually aggressive, some rudimentary insight into the way in which girls' responses differ from their own ... For the girl, every act of penetration, then or later, is an invasion of her body by forces outside herself. She can never feel quite the same toward a man who has 'known' her thus, even if only once-many boys are staggered by the change in her attitude which one act of intercourse can bring about, and her intensity may scare them off. Women are neither biologically nor intellectually 'weaker vessels' and neither sex should be brought up with such illusions, but they are, in our culture, more vulnerable to rejection-this can be as traumatic to them as denigration of his virility to a boy, and its effects can be as lasting. Love in its various manifestations is, after all, the justification for living at all, and gives us all our most rewarding, as well as some of our bitterest, moments."
