become part of them and of their world in a more intense way than just using their vagina as a place to masturbate in-which vulgar as that may sound is about what intercourse consists of for a great many men. If the FP didn't think that there was something pretty good and worthwhile in the condition of womanliness, why would he seek to emulate it? The wife or girl friend has been so thoroughly socialized into the male equals man versus the female equals woman dichotomy that they can't believe that there is some of each in the other and that the males expressing his femininity this way is not too different from women who learn to repair automobiles, become race drivers, take jobs as telephone line (wo)men or corporation presidents and thereby escape from the limitations of the classical femininity to express some some of the masculinity. Such women have been so brainwashed by the masculine mystique that they consider that men are truly the superior sex (gender) and that it is appropriate for women to try to be liberated from their stereotyped prison so that they can express some of their masculinity but that men degrade themselves from their lofty position by taking on any feminine behaviors or interests.

It is too bad that they cannot understand that an FP husband who wants to wear a nightie or stockings or whatever when making love is still the same male body that she married, but that because of the extra erotic excitement that the nightie will provide she may well find that not only does he have a longer and more intense erotic ex- perience, but that she of necessity could too if she didn't let her mental misconceptions inhibit it. It generally follows that the more aroused the male is the better the experience for the female, providing, of course, that he is not one of the "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" types who cares only about his own pleasure. That, however, is not too likely among FPs because they identify so easily with

women.

So, in summary, what I've been trying to point out is that erotic self stimulation is so widespread among males that it is in fact a normal behavior. That erotic arousal can be brought about by thoughts, scenes, pictures or specific articles and materials is part of the male sexual function. If he were not capable of such stimulation why or how would males get erections at all. Male animals are aroused by visual and olfactory stimuli when the female is sexually ready. These too are external stimuli. But while human males can still be visually stimulated their sense of smell is of no where near the sensitivity of animals. That he has, over the centuries found that he can be aroused
