JANE: Very few women talk about orgasm. Emanuel: The younger women in my friends group talk about it a lot. Theyre not willing to put up with the same sexual issues their mothers tolerated. JANE: What issues? What do they say exactly? Are they talking about orgasm specifically or just relationship issues? Emanuel: They talk about orgasms and whether their lover can bring them to climax. If theyre with someone whos unable to bring them to climax they will fake it and not see the guy again. JANE: Why do they need a man to bring them to climax? Do they not masturbate? How are they defining orgasm? I think it highly unlikely that a man can give a woman an orgasm who cannot achieve it for herself. Women never comment on the huge difference between masturbation and sex. Emanuel: They all have toys they use alone & with lovers. They just wont put up with a lover who is unwilling to bring them to climax. None of them have or want children at this point in their lives. JANE: I don’t see why a woman should ever expect a man to bring her to climax. The key issue for orgasm is mental arousal that comes from an appreciation of eroticism. I believe women are talking about sensual sensations. What’s the point of being with a man if you prefer a sex toy? Emanuel: On that note, why should a man expect a woman to bring him to climax? Hes capable of doing it himself. Are men & women looking for nothing more than a physical release? Or is the climax an important part of their relationship? JANE: Research indicates that orgasm is not important in relationships. Male orgasm is essentially a given. Most women are unfamiliar with orgasm so they have nothing to miss. Women tend to focus on upperbody lovemaking kissing & caressing over genital techniques focused on orgasm. JANE (cont): A man is aroused by a woman’s body & the prospect of intercourse. Men are not intent on orgasm but rather on the arousal and thrusting that precede orgasm. This is why male orgasm is not discussed. Female orgasm is a male turnon because it is rare in reality. An interesting & fun way to learn about sexuality for all
