That NYT piece was well worth reading - goes deep into the heart of our ideas about civilisation, manners etc. I suppose the notion that female sexuality is some wild ungovernable monster has been with us for a long time, at least since the classical Greek era - Euripedes' 'The Bacchae' springs to mind - possibly even earlier than that - agriculture etc. It's a struggle agonised over in all the great works of the western canon.
DH Lawrence imagined that the Etruscans might offer an alternative cultural inspiration for us, one in which the sexual impulse was not habitually mentalised and repressed, but rather expressed easily, immediately and comfortably without guilt or remorse. John Lash, an inheritor of Lawrence, shines a light on this area in his amazing book "Not in His Image."
I suppose the question is, can the westernised male survive alongside a female whose liberated desires are way beyond anything he can satisfy?
