ABSTRACT

When the second shift is over for Hungarian women, they begin their third shift, their private night life with partners who are usually only starting their second shift. The sexual life of Hungarian men must be divided into two categories: relations inside and outside the bonds of marriage. The average Hungarian man in his relations outside marriage is passionate, nearly inexhaustible, and his behavior is gallant and generous. In reality, one of the most important causes of marital tension comes from the area of sexual fulfillment after marriage in the context of a hectic daily routine. Crowded conditions contribute most often to the lack of sex or to restraints on its expression to the point that un fulfilling contact gradually becomes a habit. "Love and acts of love require time and patience," says Dr. A.H., one of Hungary's leading gynecologists and newly-termed "sexologists.".
