   • 1982, Felix Donnelly, One Priest's Life, page 169:

     I mentioned that whenever I speak in front of a crowd of women about male emotional neuterism, the audience accepts the statement universally. I stressed that sexual dysfunctioning problems are one of the major causes of human unhappiness and breakdown in the stability of relationships.

   • 2001, John Norman, Witness of Gor:

     I was familiar, of course, with the protocols of neuterism, the silly, self-contradictory tenets of unisex, invented by those apparently as innocent of logic as glands, and the pathetic absurdities of "personism," such things, the fictions, the lies, the pretenses, the many tiny, brittle crusts concealing the smoldering depths of difference, of reality, of sexuality within one.
