This updated version of the Hite Report on Female Sexuality presents findings from Hite's original research, conducted in the 1970s, informed by those from her more recent study (1994–2000). The aim of the book is to present a new theory of female sexuality, which Hite achieves by asking women to describe ‘how they feel during various sexual activities and when they most often orgasm’ (p. 13) and by presenting these data in women's own words. Hite argues that the book, in its original form, was the first to propose that sex is culturally created and not a biological given, thus the central theme of her work is to challenge society ‘which has had a problem accepting and understanding women's sexuality’ (p. 14). As such, Hite presents a strong argument for redefining sex and, through using her own empirical research, makes some important and interesting points.
