The Sexually Promiscuous Male

Description

THE DIMENSIONS OF MALE PROMISCUITY It is a deeply significant comment on our cultural mores that our attitudes toward male and female promiscuity vary as greatly as they do. A woman who behaves promiscuously is regarded as a person of low character. Male promiscuity draws a more tolerant response from the world at large. What is not commonly realized is that male promiscuity, like any deviation from the sexual norm, is generally a symptom of some psychic or environmental failing. Male promiscuity is almost invariably the mani- festation of a neurotic or psychotic condition. How, then, are we to understand this wide- spread phenomenon? What precisely con- stitutes promiscuous conduct? This book— through a careful study of case histories se- lected from Dr. Morse’s files—analyzes the dimensions of male promiscuity in order to give you an understanding of the problem and a valid frame of reference with which to approach this area of human behavior.
