Famed sexologist relaunches website: “Woman’s Orgasm”
Added: (Sun Sep 02 2007)
“I just have had it with the plague of sexual ignorance,” responded Benjamin Graber M.D. when queried as to why he was putting new energy into womansorgasm.com, the website named after his 1975 best seller Woman’s Orgasm: A Guide of Sex Satisfaction. This well known self help book, available in digital download at womansorgasm.com, was a best seller when it first came out in the seventies and still receives rave reviews from purchasers at www.womansorgasm.com.
Graber is obsessed with the problem of sexual ignorance, “I do anything I can to try to get people to understand how pervasive it is. To get their attention, I will often say that we know more about ingrown toenails than we do orgasm. Unfortunately, beside being an unattractive comparison, the statement is true.” Graber points out that there are two fundamental roadblocks: fear and ego. “People are afraid of sex and at the same time believe they know everything there is to know about the subject.” So, one thing that Graber has included on womansorgasm.com is direct answers to direct questions.
“I am getting old,” he says, “I have no time left to beat around the bush.” Having the book to refer to helps. When addressing a question about vibrators or perineal exercises, Graber is able to point to the area in the book where there are answers. “But what womansorgasm.com can do that wasn’t available in 1975 is direct those wanting answers to specific websites, and provide an active link directly to those resources.”
Graber is more than qualified to direct people to answers about sex. There is a Benjamin Graber Collection housing his life’s work at the Kinsey Library. Graber gave all his papers and books to the Kinsey Library. There is a link at womansorgasm.com directed toward comments by Liana Zhou, the Kinsey Librarian has said of the collection: "When someone wants to do research in the neurophysiological aspects of male and female sexuality, the Benjamin Graber Collection will be a key resource." Included as well as the over fifty published papers are addresses Graber gave at four World Congresses of Sexology in Rome, Jerusalem, Caracas, and Washington.
