Christine R. Godsy, professor of Russian and Eastern European studies at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote an article in The New York Times entitled "Why Women Got a Better Sex Under Socialism", translated by Post Post.
The writer did not object from the outset to the bad situation suffered by many under the communist regimes, but she sees that things, despite their misfortune, were not as bleak as the Americans, for example. Especially with regard to the status of women, the writer pointed out that the women of the Eastern bloc had enjoyed the rights not enjoyed by women under Western democracy at the time, including the State's massive investments in education and training, their full integration into the labor force and generous maternity leave , With a free childcare guarantee, but at the top of the benefits women have gained under communism, women have had more sexual pleasure.
The writer focused on women in Germany, since Germany was divided into two blocs, one belonging to the Eastern bloc and the other belonging to the Western bloc, and although they are one people, there is a gap in sexual pleasure made by the Berlin Wall. A comparative study of 1990 found that women in East Germany were twice as likely as women in West Germany; despite the suffering suffered by women under the communist regime, women in West Germany were more comfortable this time.
The article presented models of women who lived under the influence of communist rule. Despite the suffering, they found a more romantic and enjoyable state, while their daughters, who did not live in the same harsh conditions, did not enjoy the same pleasure, neither emotionally nor sexually. The woman's conclusion, based on research and study on many occasions, was that women under communism had a sense of state security and were not always under the pressure of either working or starving, while women under capitalism did not have that advantage.
Last year, in Gina, a former East German university city, she spoke to a 30-year-old woman who recently married Danielle Gerber. Her mother, who was born and raised under the Communist regime, constantly pressed her to have a child. Daniela says her mother does not realize how hard it is now. It was much easier for women before the fall of the wall, referring to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. "They had kindergartens and nurseries, and they had maternity leave while keeping their jobs. As for me, my work depends on contracts, and I do not have time to carry.
"In 1989, Polish sex scientists not only restricted sex in physical experience, but also stressed the importance of the social and cultural context of sexual pleasure," the author states. "This was the response of state socialism to the balance between work "They said that even with the best stimulation, it would not help to have fun if the woman was stressed or overworked or worried about her future and financial stability.
