It is going to startle you all I know, but women have actually enjoyed sex
for years. It was not a terrible duty forced upon them. The fly in the
ointment for many of them was the number of unwanted pregnancies. Now I'm not
talking about the emancipated woman of today. I'm talking about the women of
about sixty years ago, who would have been very happy to have a way to limit
births. I have actually known a woman of that time for whom rhythm worked
perfectly. She was a rare creature and a Methodist as well. The households
of those days were frequently disturbed by screaming arguements when a woman
discovered that she was again pregnant, and the four or five she already had
were in need of more than the family could provide. I lived for some years in
Diyarbakir, Turkey. It's a nice place if you have enough to live on. The
average number of children in the families there was ten. They were usually
loved, raised well, and fed and clothed as well as was possible. Extreme
hardship was not rare. Exacerbating the problem was the fact that some
marriages were rather close. The cross-cousin marriage is accepted in the
Middle East. I knew one family of five children. Two of them were normal
physically and mentally. One was physically beautiful but almost totally
without intellect; one was what was once referred to as a "pinhead (I'm sure
there is a better term of reference today, but I do not know it); and one was
about the size of an l8 month old child and seemed to have the mind of a six-
month old child). He was four when I first met him, but seemed never to have
changed in the time I knew him. His mother once asked me through a neighbor
if I knew any way she could keep from having more children. Eventually she
decided the only way was to refuse to have sex with her husband. It worked of
course, but he divorced her and sent her back to her family. He then married
another woman (also a cousin I believe), and although I would like to know how
the children of that marriage worked out, I left the area and have no source
for that particular info. There are many women who would like to limit
pregnancies. The birth control pill would have been very beneficial to this
family. If nature had intended that the human animal have sex only to
procreate, we too would be available only during a period of estrous. Prudy
