Eighteen bestselling marriage manuals of the past two decades were examined to see if changes had occurred in the portrayal of female sexuality since the beginning of the century. It was found that the woman is still assumed to have less sexual interest and experience than the man, who is ascribed the instrumental role of cultivating his wife's sexuality. While greater female initiative and "cooperation" in sex is advocated, the male continues to be the dominant partner. Radical implications of research on the multiorgasmic potential of women are virtually ignored in these books. These findings are interpreted as indicating the ideological nature of much of the advice preferred in this form of adult-education literature
