There is little doubt that Reuben is as concerned with maximizing human happiness as he is with formulating another bestseller. His basic premise is that "every modern woman is entitled to enjoy the greatest sensory experiences." Yet he seems to have little appreciation of the incredible variety and uniqueness of life. While he consistently states that a woman should make up her own mind about how to satisfy her sexual appetites, he is practically Mosaic in insisting that the best place to do it is through a monogamous, heterosexual marriage. But then how does a woman make the most of her unmeasured capacity for orgasms with only one man? At this point Reuben suggests settling for quality, not quantity. Such advice, like most patent medicines, is perfectly O.K. as long as the patient is reasonably healthy. But if pain persists, better see a physician.
