Shere Hite was a pioneering sex educator and feminist whose work primarily focused on female sexuality. Moving beyond biological studies, Hite emphasized the personal meaning and subjective experience of sex. Her research revealed that many women do not achieve orgasm through intercourse alone, highlighting the importance of direct clitoral stimulation. Hite critiqued earlier sex research for uncritically incorporating cultural norms, advocating for an understanding of the culturally and personally constructed nature of sexual experience to make research relevant to real-world behavior.

This new report includes previously unpublished data and personal accounts from women in the UK and Commonwealth. The original "Hite Report on Female Sexuality" was based on samples of women exclusively in the USA. First published in 1976, it explored women's feelings about sex and has had a profound influence on generations of readers. In it, women between the ages of 14 and 78 described their most intimate feelings and answered questions about orgasm, masturbation and their sexual desires. This book brings Shere Hite's thinking to a new generation of women and draws conclusions based on up-to-date and relevant worldwide findings to one of the most probing surveys ever undertaken.
The Shere Hite Reader presents wide-ranging analysis on the individual and society from a renowned thinker on psychosexual development. The book includes new science in addition to previously published material, reflecting Hite's three decades of work probing the roots of human identity through questionnaires and theory.For the first time Hite formalizes her thinking on male adolescence, that boys feel tortured by the new social role they are forced to assume at puberty requiring a show of superiority toward females. In new detail Hite advances her understanding that sex is political, linking the expectation on women to achieve orgasm through coitus with broader patterns of oppression. Hite discusses new research on female adolescence, challenging the "virgin" hymen concept, and documenting that sexual awakening often precedes puberty. Hite also argues that pornography misrepresents male sexuality (not to mention female sexuality), depicting it as singular and silly instead of "full of intriguing, nuanced behavior involving the entire body, not just the penis."The authoritative collection of her work, The Shere Hite Reader challenges the reader to a new way of seeing.
A reproduction of the classic text, unavailable now for more than a decade, with a new introduction by the author. The Hite Report, first published in 1976, was a sexual revolution in six hundred pages. To answer sensitive questions dealing with the most intimate details of women's sexuality, Hite's innovation was she asked women, a lot of them, everything--and published the results.One hundred thousand women, ages fourteen to seventy-eight, were asked what they do and don't like about sex; how orgasm really feels, with and without intercourse; how it feels not to have an orgasm during sex; the importance of clitoral stimulation and masturbation; and to name the greatest pleasures and frustrations of their sexual lives, among many other questions.The Hite Report declares that orgasm is easy and strong for women, given the right stimulation; that most women have orgasm most easily during masturbation or clitoral stimulation by hand; that sex as we define it is a cultural institution, not a biological one; and that attitudes must change to include the stimulation women desire.
