Completed.

Peer pressure influences sexual cultures. Some people might not even want to do what they see being normalized, but partake in behaviors, because they don't want to be left out. Many cultures have history permitting concubines and external partners for MEN. So many people are unwilling to surrender what they feel benefits them and 'honors' their traditions.

There's a caution and precision the author uses when describing some communities compared to others. There's an empathy and understanding given that appears to be selective. As I continue reading this book, it seems like most cultures blame women for the faults of men and then remedy their issues with younger women and more naive women. It also seems like many people are NEVER satisfied and looking for options.

So they have a training and coaching for wives. Encouraging them to be more closer and affectionate to their husband's. Some of this seems obvious, but it is showing them how to desire and offer closeness. This poses the question, should people be educated about this...

How weird.

Cultural expectations and financial freedom influence attitudes towards commitment.

Society conditions community attitudes towards *** topics. Sometimes impeding innocent questions and people from other communities might cast down or shame them, not realizing that each community is conditioned in a unique way.

"It's not good to speak all truths"????

Reading this book in intervals, because of the intensity of some topics.
