On a recent episode of Sex in the City, an attempt was made to bring attention to sadistic sex acts as a form of arousal and sexual pleasure. Sex is very personal and there's no right or wrong way to sexual seduction or sexual arousal as long as it does not involve young boys or girls.
Xaviera Hollander, a former call girl and madam in The Happy Hooker described how many bankers and business people used her services regularly to satisfy unusual sexual acts that they could not ask their wives to perform.
Hollander was born on June 15, 1943 so she was a young sex worker at a time when we were not so liberal about sex or the talk about sex. Women at that time were generally repressed about their sexuality so men tend to look for thrills from hookers.
It could be said that the sexual revolution evolved out of women's liberation movement of the 60s and 70s. Women were protesting the treatment of their bodies by society, mainly men as sex objects while still keeping them suppressed. There was virtually no equality of the sexes. Women had no reproductive rights including the right to have an abortion safely.
The feminist movement spread world wide because in some countries outside the West, female genital cutting, female circumcision, female mutilation were being practiced as a traditional, cultural and religious procedure where parents must give consent because of the minor age of the subjects.
In some cultures, these female mutilation procedures are done to desensitize women to their sexual urges and enjoyment in the form of an orgasm as a way for men to control them and supposedly keep them faithful in marriage and/or relationships.
