Shere Hite burst upon the American scene in 1976 with the publication of her first book, The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study on Female Sexuality.
Hite pays to have surveys printed in a number of national publications, and invites readers to answer the questions (all requiring mini-essays) and mail in the surveys.
For example, Hite's statistic about a 70 percent infidelity rate is in sharp contrast to a survey funded by Playboy that found 34 percent of married women reporting infidelity, and another study, sponsored by Redbook magazine, which reported the figure to be 29 percent.

Childhood: Shere (pronounced Cher) Hite was born Shirley Diana Gregory in 1942 in Kansas City, Mo., to a teenage mother and a serviceman.
Sex researcher/cultural historian Shere Hite is not the household name she was 30 years ago when The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality helped fuel the sexual revolution of the 1970s.

Most of the book is founded on Hite's interviews and surveys of thousands of Americans, and while some have criticized her methodology, Hite's work is most compelling when she stands back and lets her respondents speak, openly grappling with the nuances and motivations of their sexual practices.
Hite urges readers to remember their earliest sexual feelings and to rediscover "original sexuality" versus the images imposed by the culture.
