I12.S0 By DETH HILL Editorial Page Editor "The Hite Report," a book the author says is not a scientific survey, is a collection of more than 3,000 responses in a nationwide study of female sexuality. THE AUTHOR, Shere Hite, said the purpose of the book was to give women an opportunity to share their own views of sex, not the views a researcher told them to express. She claimed that in most sex studies, researchers had never asked women what their feelings were, but had simply told them how they should regard sexual activity.

The questions Hite asked were objective and impartial - not the usual irrelevant ones about marital status, occupation, race, age and sexual experience. Most questionnaires are of the multiplechoice varietv or Ipauo a email space for details, so respondents are discouraged from expressing their complete feelings about the question. Hite designed^ the questionnaires to get complete responses by asking readers to write their replies on seperate pieces of paper. In this way she was not limiting respondents to a multiple-choice or one-sentence answer.

Her book includes responses from the answers she received, approximately 3,000. In surveys distributed from 1972 to 1976, Hite requested that women give views of their own sexuality by answering about 58 questions concerning sexual activity, relationships, orgasms and different stages of their lives. Anonymity was automatically guaranteed since respondents did. not sign the completed questionnaires. ml ? me questionnaires were distributed in four different forms: Questionnaire I was included in "Oui" magazine; Questionnaire II included replies from readers of Ms., Brides and Mademoiselle magazines; replies to Questionnaires III and IV came from readers of church newsletters and members of women's movement organizations. Responses also came from readers of another Hite book, "Sexual Honesty by Women Pw Wnman " Many women said they participated in this research on female sexuality to help other women understand their feelings and experiences with sex.

The book is important because it is the first attempt to represent women's feelings on their own sexuality. For this reason, it should become a basic text or reference book on the important role sex has in women's and men's lives. Since many people never express their feelings about sex, the book can also serve as a source of information on the sexual feelings of many women. f'F*1 .mwtiTrffT) 1 rflT'S NOT WHAT] SHF SAYS ^ ITS WHERE SHE SAYS IT.
