FINANCIAL TIMES: Turmoil in the kingdom of fathers and sons: Shere Hite argues that male conformity at work is as much a
problem for men as it is for women. Financial Times, Feb 19, 2000,
Corporations did not always pose a challenge to the
traditional social order because "men were hunters",
whether in a natural jungle or a corporate jungle. The arrival of large numbers
of women in the workplace, however, means the office no longer resembles the
traditional social order based on the family and its prototype relationships. more
FINANCIAL TIMES: Daddies and daughters
in the office: Shere Hite's latest research on sex and business has strong
parallels with her earlier work on families. Financial Times
; 27-Nov-1999
The ambiguous
relationships between fathers and daughters is casting a shadow
that touches the relationships between some men and women inside
corporations.One of the
main problems men can face in forming good working relationships
with women comes from a problem women often grow up with: of
having learned too much obedience to their father - and, by
example, to men in power. more
FINANCIAL TIMES: Business uses both sides
of its brain: Shere Hite has written about, and led, the sexual revolution
for 30 years. Here she talks to leading businessmen about its progress
from the bedroom to the boardroom: Financial
Times ; 06-Feb-1999
Thirty years into the sexual revolution,
sexual politics are bigger news than ever. President Clinton's involvement
with a White House intern is testing the boundaries of the US constitution
and has threatened to catapult him out of office; the public fascination
with Princess Diana has led the British royal family to review the way
it does business. Viagra, sexual harassment suits, abortion, Aids research,
rising divorce statistics all testify to the fast pace of social change.

Dark
Night of the Soul: Oedipus Revisited
A Re-Examination of the Origins of Male Psycho-Sexual
Identity
Sons and Lovers (the part Freud left out)
Male psycho-sexual
identity is one of the most important bases of the psychology of the culture.
In my research into what makes boys and girls behave differently, I asked
both what love meant to them growing up. Boys' answers are especially
revealing. more
What
do women do together sexually? (What is Sex between Women?)The Creation
of Lesbian Sexuality by Women
Women can have expressive
and exciting sex lives with each other. Women, according to my research,
say that together they have many orgasms and very satisfying experiences
with each other. more
Lesbianism: Women's Sexual Expression Together
We live in a culture
that needs to re-invent the way people have their physical sexual intimate
relations, and can learn a lot from listening to how women have created
sexual relations with each other -- as well as enjoying what these women
in my research express. more
The
Uncelebrated Beauty of Men's Sexuality
Many women say men
can sometimes be very romantic, sexy and lots of fun; that male sexuality,
with its drive and swaggering ability to make things happen, is worth
praising. more
The
Image of Men in Pornography: Man-as-Raging-Beast//The Uncelebrated Beauty
of Men's Sexuality - A Reality Check
It seems to me that
pornography presents a highly distorted image of men. I don't believe
that men are the monolithic beings depicted in most porno images, nor
that they find 'their authentic selves' in pornography. My research with
thousands of men shows a different picture of 'who men are sexually' whereas
pornography represents the imposition of a rigid ideological view on male
sexual feelings, expression and behavior rather than a realistic depiction
of male sexuality. more
The
Psychology with Which Women Regard Other Women
What is it? Where
does it come from? a) constant signals to fear 'competition' (i.e., compete
for men, men are the goal, men are the important members of society, women
are lesser), and b) early distrust of the mother, i.e., women, buried
in the psyche (distrust created by the social system's taboo on direct
mother-daughter communication) A New Choice: Non-Sexual Physical Intimacy
between Women
Is there a hidden taboo on women's important alliances? more
Does Our Concept of 'Male Sex Drive' Reflect Nature or Ideology?
The common view
of men's sexuality is that men's bodies contain a powerful mechanism called
'sex drive' (connected to 'male hormones') to 'penetrate' and 'impregnante
women with their seed', that this is a biological imperative. more
Why
is Female Masturbation Important to Understand? (Female
Sexuality Underground)
Masturbation is one
of the most important subjects to discuss. It is a cause for celebration,
because it is such an easy source of orgasms for most women, as well as
a way into understanding the type of stimulation each individual woman
needs. more
Write What You Want as Long as It's About Sex
After 22 years as

of my work which states..."more
What
is a woman’s ‘sexual nature’?
Noone has, it seems,
ever asked this question. Nor has any research shown evidence of what
a ‘female sexual nature’ could be (nor could it, since all human beings
grow up in society, thus their ‘nature’ is culturally influenced). Women’s
natures have simply been assumed to be ‘like men’s’, i.e., ‘women are
sexual animals underneath it all, animals who crave satisfaction -- and
the satisfaction they crave is not so much orgasm as sex from a man!’

Icons of the Heart: the New Democracy in Private Life and Family
One constantly hears that "the
family" is in trouble, that it doesn't work any more, and we must find ways
to help it. That we must preserve family values. But let's look closely at these
seemingly obvious statements. If "the family" doesn't work, what does
this mean? more
What is
Democratisation of the Family?
The democratisation of the family, as I term
it in The Hite Report on the Family, means two things: that relationships inside
the family are becoming more equal -- that all members, especially the woman and
man, make decisions equally, and give each other equal emotional support. more
Hite
Report on the Family - Revolutionising
the Psyche of Patriarchy
This book is a picture, many pictures, of childhood – and
a questioning of the identity given to each of us as children.
A significantly different picture of ‘childhood’
emerges from my work than elsewhere – as boys and girls, women and men, ages
8-38*, movingly describe their childhood feelings and experiences. more
Sons and Lovers: A
different view of Oedipus. - Sex is danger, violence is sexy -
so we are told! Lurid stories of sexual violence scream at us every day from newspapers,
films and videos, TV, magazines, the lives of friends, even our own lives - But
where does it come from, the male ambivalence towards women, the impulse towards
sexual humiliation or violence more
Society
Where
are we in the ‘morals revolution’?
We frequently hear of ‘the
collapse of the old moral order’ – supposedly as stable and eternally true
as the stars. However, the change from a moral system in which only the
reproductive couple (woman as ‘helper’, man the legal head of the family)
was declared good and valuable, in favour of today’s ‘new morality’ with
many primary relationships accepted, does not mean the ‘collapse of
society’, but instead its renewal. more
Who
is the ‘Modern Man’?
What about men? The last
twenty-five years are thought of as an era of change for women, but men have
been changing too. How much have men ‘undefined’ their ideas of masculinity,
who a real man is – and how much are men carrying on with an old point of view
dressed up in a new style? more
