In its October edition, Redbook magazine said its readers' survey also found that the key factor in a satisfying sexual relationship is the ability to communicate one's sexual needs and desires, including the ability to say Redbook said 20,000 women and 6,000 men responded to its poll, which was. printed in the magazine's February issue. The majority of the respondents were married and between the ages of 21 and 35.. THREE OUT OF every four women who responded to the survey rated their sexual relationships as good or ex- cellent and 81 per cent gave the same ratings to their lovers. * It said 72 per cent of men rated them- selves as good or excellent lovers, com- jred with 67.4 per cent of the women. Among high-school educated men, 84 percent found their sex lives good; for college-educated men, the figure was 80 percent, and among men with grad- uate degrees, it dropped to 76 percent. No such cor- relation was found among women. As for the "seven-year itch," a term used to describe a period when married men's eyes begin to wander, Redbook said it found ample evidence to "prove" it is a valid phenomenon. "The average percentage of men who rate their sexual relationships as no better 'than fair during the first six years more than doubles to 30.9 per cent for those in relationships that have lasted seven to 10 years," Redbook said. "And though the percentage tends to keep increasing the longer the relation- ships have continued, the increase is nowhere else as sharp as at the seventh year.'' THE SURVEY ALSO found that: *Fifty-eight per cent of the women who found it easy to assert their rights or feelings in an argument were satisfied with their sex lives, compared with 16 per cent of those who found it difficult. *Among men with no more than a high school education, 84 per cent said their sex lives were good or excellent. For men who went to college, the figure dropped to 80 per cent, and for men with graduate degrees it was 76 per cent. No such correlation was found among women. *Women said their prime sources for sex information were in order, in- dependent reading, female friends, and women's magazines. For men, it was male friends, independent reading, and men's magazines, 'Frequency of intercourse is the most discussed sexual topic. Birth control is' second for women, but oral sex and orgasm outrank it among men. 'ninety per cent of the men said they initiate sex at least half of the time, compared with 49 per cent of the women.

Of those who said their sexual relationships were good or excellent, 79 per cent rated their ability to com- municate with their partners about sex as excellent. But among those who discuss the subject with parents, frien- ds, doctors or clergymen. DR. PHILIP SARREL and his wife Lorna, co-directors of the Sex Coun- seling program at Yale University and contributing editors of Redbook, said, "We don't think these findings mean that orgasm is irrelevant, it certainly isn't. But clearly, sexual satisfaction is not just a matter of five or ten seconds of physiologic response." The Sarrels said they "were delighted to find new evidence that the importance of orgasm to a woman's sexual satisfaction has been grossly overrated." Cuban held in '.sponsor's death' TOMAH, Wis. (UPI)-A Cuban immi- grant was held yesterday in the beating death of a woman who became his sponsor three weeks ago, and Police Chief Don Fisher urged calm among residents of this town near, the Fort -McCoy refugee camp'. Authorities said Lene Cespedes 'Tdrres, 20, faced charges of first- Wdegree murder in the death of Bernice Taylor, 57. Police found Torres sitting on a chair Sunday in Taylor's home. She had ap- parently been beaten to death a few hours earlier. Torres, who was unemployed, had been selected for sponsorhip by Taylor from among the thoysands of refugees who have been housed at nearby Fort McCoy since late May. He moved to her home three weeks ago.I Fisher said authorities had infor- mation there was a slight quarrel in- volving Torres and some members of Taylor's family Saturday night. But he said he did notihave a motive and was awaiting repoits from the district at- torney's office and the State CrimeLab in Madison. The chief said the investigation proceeded slowly because of the tension in the area and because Torres does not speak English. "We hope, though, that people remember that if this man is guilty-he hasn't been convicted, understand-but if this man is guilty, he is only one man," Fisher said. "We cannot condemn the whole Cuban population on the actions of one person. And we hope our people in this area realize this and keep this in mint, and that they don't get excited about . Fisher said Taylor's daughter, Theoda Evans, called her mother Sun- day morning and Torres answered the telephone, sounding extremely upset. Evans called police and then went to the home with a neighbor. They found the refugee, Taylor's fully clothed body on a bed and her 5-year- old grandson, who had stayed with her overnight. The grandson was not in- jured. There were bruises on Taylor's head and neck and Torres had cuts and scratches on his chest, arms and ab- domen. Fort McCoy began accepting refugees in late May and the population eventually reached 15,000. It has been reduced to less than 5,000, but there have been sporadic utbursts.recently. Last week,- about 300 refugees tore down several hundred feet of the wire fence surrounding their compound.
