EXTREMES IN SEX BEHAVIOR


by Ebe Alongi, M. D.
In sex — as in every other aspect of human endeavor — there are giants as well as pygmies.
IN most books on health written in the past, men were almost always advised to have only moderate sexual contact with women, if they wished to have physical and mental vigor. This advice was especially to be applied at certain times of life and in certain circumstances.
Dr. Alongi is assistant at the University Clinic for Nervous and Mental Illnesses of Naples University and, for a number of years has been Official Consultant on psychiatric and neurological problems of the Court of Justice and the District Court of Naples.
Even if one were to grant the correctness of this counsel, we run into difficulty. The moment we ask: "How many times in a month can a man safely sacrifice to the goddess of love?" we find that no one answer can be given for all men.
